Accused Former Lawmaker, County Commissioner Surrender

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart and political consultant Tim Pope surrendered to authorities Friday, one day after they were accused of felony violations of state campaign laws. Rinehart and Pope arrived at the Oklahoma County Courthouse about 9:45 a.m. They were each with an attorney and Rinehart was also accompanied by a sheriff's deputy. They were arraigned and were to be booked at the Oklahoma County Jail. They face accusations of perjury, conspiracy and money laundering in connection with the funneling of illegal campaign contributions to Rinehart's 2004 race for county commissioner, the state Attorney General's office said. UPDATE: Rhinehart unexpectedly shows up at county commissioners' press conference (Video)
