MUSKOGEE, Okla. — A former Oklahoma deputy was sentenced to 70 months in prison after pleading guilty to one count of Destruction, Alteration, or Falsification of Records to Obstruct a Federal Investigation.
FOX23 previously covered when 29-year-old Wesley Wayne Hunter Jr. was arrested on a second degree rape charge in August 2023.
