MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA - The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced the federal grand jury sitting in Muskogee completed its May session last week and returned eighty-two felony indictments.
Seventy-six indictments were publicly filed and six remain sealed pending arrest of the charged defendants. All but one of the unsealed charges involve crimes arising out of Indian Country. Thirty-three indictments are for murder, sixteen are sexual assaults, and the balance contain allegations of child abuse/neglect, attempted murder, involuntary manslaughter, felonious assault, robbery, burglary, and kidnapping. The sole non-Indian Country indictment involves possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.
The dramatic increase in Indian Country cases for federal prosecution is due to the U.S. Supreme Court decision of McGirt v. Oklahoma and recent Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals rulings. These opinions determined the reservations of the Five Civilized Tribes were never disestablished by Congress and, therefore, the United States has primary federal jurisdiction to prosecute major crimes committed by-or against-Native Americans occurring within the 26 counties of the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
The following indictments were returned by the federal grand jury and filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. The information listed in brackets is the county and the reservation where the crime(s) allegedly occurred.
