Republican Oklahoma state Rep. Ty Burns pleaded guilty to one charge of domestic abuse and two charges of misdemeanor assault, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced Thursday. 

The charges stemmed from incidents involving “family members” in November 2024 and April 2025. In a statement, Burns said he would step down from his position as chairman of the Appropriations and Budget Finance Subcommittee, but would not resign from office.
