Clinton J. Johnson U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma
Terry Ross Killion, a 43-year-old resident of Grove, Oklahoma, has been sentenced to 24 months in prison for aggravated identity theft. The sentencing was handed down by U.S. District Judge John F. Heil III. Following his prison term, Killion will also serve one year of supervised release and must pay $116,763 in restitution.
The case dates back to 2019 when Killion used the personal information of his deceased friend, Kelly Davis, to impersonate him. He established multiple accounts under Davis's name and contacted the Social Security Administration pretending to be Davis. Through this deception, he redirected payments meant for Davis to himself.
Killion is currently in custody and will be transferred to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The investigation was conducted by the Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General – Dallas Kansas City Field Division. Assistant U.S. Attorney George Jiang led the prosecution.
