STILLWATER, OKLA. ? Oklahoma State basketball coach Eddie Sutton pleaded no contest Friday to drunken-driving charges for a traffic accident in which his SUV swerved, collided with another vehicle and then hit a tree.

Sutton, who turned 70 on March 12, was charged with misdemeanor aggravated drunken driving, speeding and driving on the wrong side of the road.

Sutton, wearing a gray suit and a tie, said “Yes, sir” when asked by Special Judge Michael Stano if he understood the charges against him and again if he understood that entering a plea would forfeit his rights to a trial.

When asked for his plea, he said deliberately, “No contest.” Stano accepted Sutton’s plea, which was part of an agreement with prosecutors.

Stano gave Sutton a one-year deferred sentence as recommended by prosecutors. He also required him to pay a $500 fine plus about $900 in other fees, including court costs. Sutton already has completed an alcohol-treatment program that was also part of the deal.

He also will be required to attend a victim impact panel and may be asked to pay restitution. A hearing to determine whether restitution will be necessary was set for Aug. 8.

Payne County District Attorney Rob Hudson said the punishment was typical for defendants with no prior criminal record and added that counseling and treatment that Sutton continues to receive were important parts of the agreement.
