TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A former Tulsa police officer has pleaded guilty to five charges that include receiving bribes, attempting to distribute cocaine and computer crimes.

Online court records show 41-year-old Tyrone Jenkins pleaded guilty to the charges Monday in Tulsa County District Court. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 10.

Jenkins was arrested in March and charged in April after prosecutors alleged he took about $3,100 in bribes during undercover sting operations by Tulsa police.

Jenkins later resigned as a police officer.
