Clinton J. Johnson U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma
Federal prosecutors in the Northern District of Oklahoma have announced a series of indictments returned by the August 2024-B federal grand jury. The cases involve charges ranging from unlawful reentry into the United States, drug trafficking, violent crime, and firearm offenses to cyberstalking and child pornography.
United States Attorney Clint Johnson said: “The following individuals have been charged with violations of United States law in indictments returned by the Grand Jury. The return of an indictment is a method of informing a defendant of alleged violations of federal law, which must be proven in a court of law beyond a reasonable doubt to overcome a defendant’s presumption of innocence.”
Among those indicted is Wilmer Ulvin Aguilar-Miranda, 30, a Guatemalan national accused of unlawfully reentering the U.S. after being removed in March 2013. Investigators from ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Dallas Field Office handled the case.
Christopher Ray Barrett, Jessica Marie Johnson, and Katelyn Mary LeBlanc face multiple charges including carjacking, using and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, being felons in possession of firearms and ammunition, and conspiracy to tamper with witnesses. According to authorities, Barrett allegedly brandished a firearm while committing these crimes. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Tulsa Police Department investigated this case.
In another case involving drug offenses, Joshua Lee Cornog is charged with possessing over 500 grams of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. The Drug Enforcement Administration Tulsa Resident Office worked alongside other agencies on this investigation.
Violent crime charges are also prominent among the indictments. Jerry Charles Creek Jr., 53, faces several counts related to assault—including strangulation—serious bodily injury, aggravated sexual abuse by force or threat, assault with intent to commit murder, all occurring in Indian Country. The FBI and Tulsa Police Department conducted the investigation.
Cameron David Joshua Cox was indicted for receipt and distribution of child pornography. Authorities allege he knowingly received images depicting child sexual abuse.
Other cases include kidnapping allegations against Henry Joseph Jaquez; illegal firearm possession charges against Marcus Antonio Jones and John David Landrum; failure to register as a sex offender against Antonio Juan Paredes; first-degree burglary and kidnapping charges against Issac Eli Pigeon; various drug trafficking and money laundering counts against Sidney Peter Rivas and six co-defendants; additional cases concerning unlawful reentry into the U.S.; cyberstalking charges; as well as weapons violations involving non-citizens.
These indictments reflect ongoing efforts by federal agencies—including ATF, DEA, FBI, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Dallas Field Office—and local police departments such as Tulsa Police Department—to address crimes ranging from immigration violations to organized drug activity within Oklahoma’s jurisdiction.
The prosecutions are being led by Assistant U.S. Attorneys across multiple divisions within the office.
