TULSA (AP) -- Ex-Tulsa County Sheriff Stanley Glanz pleads no contest to not releasing training memo on reserve deputy who killed man.
MORE: Tulsa County Sheriff's Office Investigation
4 p.m.
Stanley Glanz entered his plea Friday to a charge of refusal to perform official duty. He was sentenced to a year of jail time, but the judge suspended it.
At the same hearing, he pleaded guilty to willful violation of the law for an unrelated incident in which he received a $600 monthly vehicle stipend while having access to county-owned vehicles. That plea also resulted in a suspended one-year jail sentence.
The judge ordered Glanz to pay $7,500 in restitution regarding the stipend.
Both charges he pleaded to are misdemeanors.
Glanz was indicted last September following an investigation that began after his friend -- reserve deputy Robert Bates -- shot and killed Eric Harris during an April 2015 sting operation. A special grand jury said Glanz should have shared a 2009 memo that raised questions about Bates' qualifications.

A former Oklahoma sheriff who was friends with a reserve deputy who killed an unarmed man last year has pleaded no contest to failing to release key information about how the officer was trained.
Stanley Glanz entered his plea to a charge of refusal to perform official duty on Friday. A special grand jury indicted Glanz last September, saying he should have shared a 2009 memo that raised questions about Robert Bates' qualifications.
Glanz had said the memo was a private personnel record.
Bates donated cash, vehicles and equipment to the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office. He fatally shot Eric Harris during an April 2015 sting operation. Bates has said he confused his stun gun with his handgun and was later convicted of second-degree manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison.
Glanz resigned after being indicted.
