David Wayne Hammock of Sallisaw appeared in court Monday for the remainder of a revocation hearing, which was continued last month. At the conclusion of the hearing, District Judge Jeff Payton reinstated Hammock's 20-year sentence.
Kyle Waters, assistant district attorney, explained that Hammock is now waiting transport to the Department of Corrections, where the judge ordered him to participate in another drug offender work camp.
At the first half of Hammock's revocation hearing last month, the operator of a work camp testified that Hammock was ordered last year to the drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, but left without permission and failed to complete the program.
After Hammock left, prosecutors asked that Hammock's suspended sentence be revoked.
Hammock pleaded guilty to arson in August 2005 and was originally sentenced to 20 years in prison, 10 years of which were suspended, for arson and three counts of second-degree burglary. One burglary count related to the fire, while the others were in connection to a previous business burglary.
After spending time in prison, Hammock sought a review hearing and was ordered to be released from prison and sent to the treatment program. His sentence would have been suspended upon successful completion of the program.
