OKLAHOMA CITY — A judge followed through with his unusual plan Thursday.
The Oklahoman reports that U.S. District Judge Stephen Friot showed leniency to 34-year-old Summer Thyme Creel during her sentencing because she had surgery to prevent pregnancies.
Creel was convicted of using a counterfeit check at a Walmart in Moore.
She faced a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Judge Friot had suggested the medical procedure in a June order, noting that Creel had relinquished her parental rights to six of her seven children.
