Fourteen people have been indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Oklahoma on charges related to drug conspiracy. The indictment, announced by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, lists defendants from various cities in Oklahoma, as well as one individual from Mexico and another from Texas.
The individuals named in the indictment are Jerry Lee Grist, Tommy Blake McCary, Meagon Rashel Box, Leslie Gale Bellettini, Shawnda La Dawn Russell, Glenn Roger Hyde, Jeffery Lance Deaver, Jesus Martin Olivares Vasquez Sr., Dean Dewayne Henslee, Angie Eulalia Nunez (also known as Angie Farrell), David George Nunez, Raymond Erwin Welch, Willa Margarette Wear, and Clifford Eugene Berry.
According to the announcement, each defendant faces charges of Drug Conspiracy under Title 21 of the United States Code. These charges carry penalties ranging from at least 10 years in prison to a possible $10 million fine. Some defendants face additional charges: Jerry Lee Grist and Dean Dewayne Henslee are charged with Distribution of Methamphetamine; Leslie Gale Bellettini is charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine and Cocaine; Angie Eulalia Nunez and David George Nunez each face an additional charge for Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine.
The indictment alleges that starting around June 2024 and continuing until the date of the indictment in November 2025, these individuals conspired together and with others to possess with intent to distribute and distribute cocaine and methamphetamine within the Eastern District of Oklahoma and elsewhere.
This case is part of a larger effort led by multiple agencies including the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Indian Affairs, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, several tribal police departments such as Quapaw Nation Marshals and Wyandotte Nation Police Department, local law enforcement agencies like Miami Police Department and Durant Police Department, sheriff’s departments from LeFlore County through McCurtain County, three regional drug task forces (Districts 16, 18 and 22), Internal Revenue Service—Criminal Investigations Division (IRS-CI), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and others.
The press release emphasizes that “A grand jury Indictment does not constitute evidence of guilt. A grand jury Indictment is a method of bringing formal charges against the defendant. All defendants are presumed innocent of the charges and may not be found guilty unless evidence establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”
These indictments fall under the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative established by Executive Order 14159. The HSTF aims to combat criminal cartels and transnational organizations involved in activities such as drug trafficking and human smuggling within the United States. According to the statement: “Through historic interagency collaboration, the HSTF directs the full might of United States law enforcement towards identifying, investigating, and prosecuting the full spectrum of crimes committed by these organizations… In performing this work, the HSTF places special emphasis on investigating and prosecuting those engaged in child trafficking or other crimes involving children.”
Prosecution is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jordan Howanitz for the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
