A state representative pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of domestic abuse and two misdemeanor counts of assault and will receive a one-year suspended sentence, according to Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond.

Rep. Ty Burns was charged by prosecutors for the November 2024 and April 25, 2025, incidents involving family members, according to the AG.

Drummond's office took on the case after Pawnee County District Attorney Mike Fisher recused.

Domestic violence is tragically all too common in our state. It must stop.”
