A former Tulsa police officer charged with five crimes including two counts of receiving bribes pleaded guilty Monday in Tulsa County District Court.

In April, prosecutors charged Tyrone Jenkins, 41, with taking $3,100 in bribes during several undercover stings by the Tulsa Police Department. Jenkins was also charged with two counts of violating the Computer Crimes Act and one count of endeavoring to distribute cocaine.
