OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A former state insurance commissioner was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison for depositing a $1,000 campaign check into his overdrawn personal bank account and for not revealing the transaction on campaign finance reports.
The criminal case was the first of five against Carroll Fisher to go to trial. He also faces charges including bribery, filing a false income tax return, failure to pay over money to the state, and failure to report charitable contributions.
Oklahoma County Judge Susan Caswell approved the jury's recommendation of one year for embezzlement and two years for perjury. The judge also fined Fisher $20,000.
