State Rep. Ayshia "Ajay" Pittman has pleaded guilty to felony charges related to falsifying documents submitted to the Oklahoma Ethics Commission. Pittman admitted to forging a $2,500 check intended for campaign account repayments and has agreed to resign from the House of Representatives as part of her sentencing, as per the Attorney General's Office release.
The charges against Pittman include Conspiracy to Commit a Felony Forgery in the Second Degree and Violating the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act. The forged check was submitted digitally to the Ethics Commission, falsely representing its authenticity.
Pittman will receive a seven-year deferred sentence and is required to make full restitution, with repayments directed to a charitable organization agreed upon by both parties. The Oklahoma Ethics Commission has approved a settlement agreement with Pittman.
