Ex-Police Chief Pleads Guilty To Raping Motorist

SAWYER, OK - A former police chief from a town in southeastern Oklahoma has pleaded guilty to raping a driver after pulling her over.

Coke Douglas Makerney admitted that while he was the chief in Sawyer, he had sex with a woman at an intersection against her will after the traffic stop.

A federal grand jury indicted Coke Douglas Makerney earlier this month on one count of deprivation of rights under color of law.

Makerney could spend up to life in prison and pay up to $250,000 in fines.

Makerney, 48, entered the guilty plea Thursday.
