Stipe Faces August 28th Probation Hearing

There's word today that the probation revocation hearing for Gene Stipe has been set for 8:30 a.m. August 28th at the U.S. Courthouse in Muskogee before U. S. District Judge Ronald A. White.
Stipe faces allegations he violated his federal probation by continuing to associate with a convicted felon, business associate Steve Covington.
Stipe could receive a four to 12-month prison sentence if White revokes his probation. Stipe, 80 and in ill health, left the Senate after more than 50 years of legislative service following his federal conviction in 2004 for federal campaign violations and perjury stemming from the failed congressional campaign of Walt Roberts.
