Clinton J. Johnson U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma (NDOK) reported collections totaling $2,586,678.72 in criminal and civil actions during fiscal year 2025. According to U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson, the office secured $1,625,271.97 from criminal cases and $961,406.75 from civil cases.
The NDOK’s responsibilities extend beyond litigation. Its Asset Recovery and Asset Forfeiture teams enforce and collect debts owed to the United States as well as to crime victims. Federal law allows judges to order restitution payments to victims of federal crimes, which are distributed through programs that support victim compensation and assistance.
Funds obtained through asset forfeiture are deposited into the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund. In fiscal year 2025, NDOK collected $613,330 via asset forfeiture actions; these funds support law enforcement efforts and help restore losses suffered by crime victims.
The office provided several examples of recent recoveries:
In November 2024, Devin Darel Fletcher was sentenced for embezzling money from Tulsa Public Schools and ordered to pay $593,492.32 in restitution. Authorities garnished $111,511.98 from his retirement accounts and seized an additional $45,710.19 toward restitution.
Also in November 2024, Randal Dewayne Davis was sentenced on child pornography charges and ordered to pay $44,000 in restitution to nine victims of child sexual abuse material; he also forfeited $25,000 cash instead of real property. The district recovered $30,976.67 from a retirement account with the remainder coming from forfeited assets.
An earlier case involved Elizabeth Ann Stanley who was sentenced in October 2011 for misapplication of financial institution funds and ordered to pay nearly $119,000 in restitution to First National Bank and Trust of Miami. After initial payments including over $48,000 from forfeited bank accounts in 2012 and ongoing monthly installments over several years, her remaining balance was fully paid once portions were withheld from her retirement benefits.
Other notable asset forfeitures include a January 2025 case involving William Shane Garrow who pleaded guilty to bank fraud and filing false tax returns after stealing more than $4 million while serving as a senior banking executive; authorities seized more than $700,000 in currency plus two properties valued at approximately $340,000.
In July 2024 Eduardo Agustin Barrera-Lopez admitted guilt regarding heroin distribution activities; authorities seized over $124,000 in currency related to narcotics trafficking operations centered in Tulsa.
Kevin Gamboa-Olivas pleaded guilty in December 2024 to drug conspiracy charges connected with cocaine distribution—leading officials to seize more than $86,000 in currency along with a vehicle valued at just over $60,700 that has since been repurposed for law enforcement use.
