Police Captain Sentenced To Four Years In Prison

Del City Police Department

A former Oklahoma police captain convicted of manslaughter in the shooting death of a teenager has been sentenced to four years in prison.

District Judge Donald Deason sentenced former Del City Police Capt. Randy Trent Harrison on Wednesday. Jurors had recommended the four-year sentence and Deason rejected a defense request for probation.

An Oklahoma County jury convicted Harrison for the March 14, 2012, shooting death of Dane Scott Jr. Scott was shot in the back following a high-speed chase that began when Harrison tried to pull over Scott's car.
