OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Rodeo star Bobby Griswold of Geary has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors and prosecutors dropped a felony charge of practicing veterinary medicine without a license.
Griswold also is an equine dentist and was arrested March 4 after fixing a horse's teeth. He admitted Thursday he had two veterinary drugs with him that day without a valid prescription.
He was the first person to be arrested after a 2008 law made horse dentistry a felony unless done by or supervised by a veterinarian. Legislators this spring changed the violation back to a misdemeanor after horse owners, equine dentists and Griswold's supporters complained of his arrest.
The misdemeanors against Griswold will be dismissed if he stays out of trouble while on probation for eight months.
