Judge hands down prison sentence, then presides over nuptials. Larry Allen Austin, 29, ties knot with longtime girlfriend after pleading guilty to firearms charge. Austin, 29, of Oklahoma City, pleaded guilty in Oklahoma County District Court to a firearm charge and was sentenced to four years in prison by District Judge Jerry D. Bass. Bass then presided over a marriage ceremony between the man and longtime girlfriend Dustie Dawn Trojack, 31, of Oklahoma City, whose two children were in attendance. First, though, Austin and his bride-to-be took the elevator down to the court clerk's office to get a marriage license, accompanied by two sheriff's deputies. “We've been together for a long time,” Austin said. “This is a chance for us to start our lives.” It was a first for Bass, sentencing a man and conducting his wedding in the same day. “It's what we do as judges - he said - We conduct legal business, and from time to time we conduct marriages.”
