A Tahlequah man pleaded no contest this week to a reduced charge of outraging public decency.
Dustin WarEagle Duvall, 18, was initially charged with assault with intent to commit a felony. Prosecutors alleged he attempted to get a woman’s attention and expose himself to her on Oct. 6, 2008, when Duvall was 17.
He was charged this week as an adult with the felony offense. It carries a possible five year sentence and/or a fine of up to $500. Duvall, his attorney, Jim Cosby, and Assistant District Attorney Yvette Duvall entered a plea agreement to allow Dustin to enter a plea to the lesser charge.
The prosecutor and defendant are not related.
He was granted a deferred one year judgment and fined $100. Special District Judge Sandy Crosslin also ordered payment of $371 in court costs and for Duvall to attend parenting classes. Crosslin set his case for review on Aug. 26 at 9 a.m.. Duvall is to make $40 monthly payments starting May 15.
The deferred judgment means, if Duvall can successfully complete his year of probation, he can ask the court to expunge the case at the end of the year.
