Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced the charges, guilty plea and sentence Thursday — an unusual same-day charging and adjudication. Pawnee County Associate District Court Judge Patrick Pickerell gave Burns (R-Morrison) concurrent one-year suspended sentences on each count and ordered him to attend 52 weeks of domestic violence intervention services. Pickerell granted Burns unsupervised probation following the completion of his one-year suspended sentence.

“These are serious charges,” Drummond said in a statement. “While there is no excuse for domestic violence, I am encouraged that the representative has taken responsibility for his actions and will receive counseling under terms of his sentence. Domestic violence is tragically all too common in our state. It must stop.”
