Tulsa, Okla. A Tulsa police officer pleaded guilty in federal court to illegally buying a gun. Officer Latoya Dythe, who was assigned to the chief’s office as a community resource officer, has been suspended without pay since at least December, when her indictment via a federal grand jury was unsealed according to the Tulsa World.
As part of a plea agreement, the 26-year-old pleaded guilty to conspiracy in making a false statement to a firearms dealer. She remains on bond pending sentencing July 15, and faces a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment for each count, three years of supervised release and a fine not to exceed $250,000.
