Ex-Oklahoma Sheriff Pleads No Contest to Deputy Memo Charge
By SUE OGROCKI, ASSOCIATED PRESS TULSA, Okla. — Jul 15, 2016, 7:11 PM ET
A former Oklahoma sheriff who was friends with a reserve deputy who shot and killed an unarmed man last year pleaded no contest Friday to failing to release key information about how the officer was trained.
Stanley Glanz, who was sheriff in Tulsa County, entered his plea to a charge of refusal to perform official duty and was sentenced to a year of jail time, but the judge suspended it.
At the same hearing, he pleaded guilty to willful violation of the law for an unrelated incident in which he received a monthly vehicle stipend while having access to county-owned vehicles. That plea also resulted in a suspended one-year jail sentence.
Both the refusal to perform official duty and willful violation charges are misdemeanors. Glanz and his attorney declined comment after the hearing.
