Sherman Lee Gore of Texhoma was recently sentenced to five years in the custody of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections for probation violations, Sequoyah County District Attorney Jerry S. Moore said.

Gore, 47, had been on probation for assault with a dangerous weapon and domestic abuse. His probation was revoked based on his failure to report to his probation officer, being arrested for public intoxication in Texas, and failing to obtain domestic abuse counseling. Gore will participate in substance abuse treatment while incarcerated.

"Gore now realizes that a minor mistake while on probation equals a trip to the Department of Corrections," Kyle Waters, assistant district attorney handling the case, said.
