— BARTLESVILLE, Okla. (AP) — A Bartlesville man has been sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to abusing patients at a nursing home.

A Washington County judge sentenced 31-year-old Jason Lynn Pearl Wednesday after Pearl pleaded guilty earlier this month in a plea deal with prosecutors.

Pearl was arrested in March on allegations of abusing patients while he was a certified nursing assistant at Silver Lake Care Center in Bartlesville.
