Former bodybuilder sentenced to prison on drug charges By Donna HalesPhoenix Staff Writer She told of a felony arrest in Texas in 1996 after Baker was caught bringing back controlled substances from Mexico. Baker later testified he thought it was a misdemeanor that had been expunged.
Walker said Baker didn’t appear to be a good candidate for community supervision — that he lacked responsibility. She said he told her he works for his mother’s construction corporation but doesn’t draw a salary. Baker later testified his mother gives him a home to live in, a credit card ... “that’s pretty much it — takes care of room and board and housing for me and my wife and two daughters.” Walker said she asked him for documentation as far as any taxes he paid and that he could not provide that. The defendant’s mother, teacher Bonnie Baker, testified her son was one of the most disciplined individuals she knew — an overachiever in sports and academics. She said he graduated 15th his class at Muskogee High School. In addition to being chosen as an All-Stater, he was inducted into the Oklahoma Football Hall of Fame. Officials said the sentence will ensure that Baker will spend between 16 and 18 months in prison, if he stays on good behavior. Reach Donna Hales at 684-2923 or dhales@muskogeephoenix.com.
