Barry Jacob Rowland, 33, of Bixby, was placed on probation, received a one-year deferred sentence and agreed to resign from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. He also agreed to give up his Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training certification, which is required to be a law enforcement officer in Oklahoma.

"I think it’s a substantial penalty, and in this instance it was justified,” Okmulgee County District Attorney Tom Giulioli said.
