Feds Move To Revoke Stipe's Probation

Federal prosecutors are trying to revoke former State Senator Gene Stipe's probation and send him to prison, The Oklahoman's Tony Thornton reports.

A probation revocation petition against Stipe could be filed next week, sources told Thornton.

Stipe, 80, was placed on probation following his conviction in an illegal campaign donation scheme that also cost him his license to practice law and his seat in the Senate. He now is the primary target of a federal grand jury investigation into alleged corruption and illegal campaign donations unrelated to the earlier scheme that resulted in his probation.
