Prosecutors have dropped tax charges against former Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Carroll Fisher.
The 68-year-old Fisher was charged with filing a false tax return that understated his income in 1999.
Fisher is currently in prison on a campaign corruption conviction and still faces trial in Oklahoma City in October on bribery charges.
The decision to drop the tax charges come after a judge limited the evidence that could be used.
Attorney General Drew Edmondson says it doesn’t make sense to spend the state’s time and money on the tax case.
