OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Talk about the old ball and chain.
A judge sentenced an Oklahoma man to four years in federal prison on a firearm
charge — then minutes later performed a marriage ceremony to wed the new inmate
and his longtime girlfriend.
Thursday was a busy day for Larry Austin and Dustie Trojack. First they obtained
their marriage license, then Austin pleaded guilty to the firearm charge and was
sentenced by Oklahoma County Judge Jerry Bass. Shortly afterward, Bass married
the happy couple who kissed before federal authorities whisked Austin away.
Austin's attorney, Scott M. Anderson, tells The Oklahoman (http://is.gd/7kXI74 )
that Austin had helped to raise Trojack's two sons and he didn't want to lose
contact with them while he was serving time.
