Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson has dropped five felony charges against an aide to former Insurance Commissioner Carroll Fisher.
Fisher served prison time on convictions for embezzlement and perjury tied to an election campaign and later pleaded no contest to a bribery charge.
As part of that investigation, charges were brought against 74-year-old Opal Ellis of Edmond. Ellis had been a special assistant to Fisher, but was fired in 2004 after he resigned.
Her attorney, John Coyle, says Edmondson notified him May 15 of the decision to drop the charges including embezzlement.
