Woman's drug conviction overturned during probe

— Court records indicate a Tulsa woman's drug conviction has been vacated, increasing to 19 the number of people either freed from prison or no longer facing charges because of an ongoing police corruption investigation.

Tulsa County District Judge William Kellough vacated the eight-year suspended sentence for 48-year-old Paula M. Reeves earlier this month. She pleaded no contest in March 2005 to unlawful possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute.

The Tulsa World reports the attorney for 56-year-old Bobby Wayne Haley Sr. says Reeves' case is connected with that of his client. Records indicate Haley was freed from federal prison in May after an informant said she had lied during court testimony about drugs being sold at Haley's business.

Court records indicate the informant said she gave the false testimony at the request of two Tulsa police officers.
