muskogee leaders warn about misuse of fireworks!

The City of Muskogee is cracking down on people shooting off fireworks this Fourth of July. The new ordinance states you can't shoot off fireworks within 500 feet of a public building or church. You also can't shoot off fireworks at people.  City Councilor Melody Cranford tells our partners at News on 6 that last year didn’t go well with fires being started and fireworks shot in someone's face. With the new penalties in place, violators could face a 500-dollar fine and possible jail time.
