Sutton was due in Payne Count District Court in Stillwater Monday, but the court said Friday the new date is June 7th. 

Sutton was arrested in February and charged with four felonies for allegedly illegally obtaining prescription drugs. His attorney entered a not guilty plea February 16 when Sutton was arraigned and said Sutton was in a treatment center.
