The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) along with the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service are investigating; Assistant U.S. Attorneys Stephen Flynn and Melissa Weems are prosecuting.
Yareli Gonzalez-Vallejo, 34 and also a Mexican national, is accused of unlawfully reentering the country after being removed in November 2018. Homeland Security Investigations is involved; prosecution is led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Melissa Weems.

Aaron Mitchell Robinson of Sperry faces multiple counts including distribution of methamphetamine, maintaining premises for drug activity, possession of a firearm related to drug trafficking crimes, and witness tampering as part of a superseding indictment. The FBI is conducting the investigation while Assistant U.S. Attorney Shakema Onias leads prosecution.
Edwin Soto, aged 27 and originally from Mexico, stands accused as both an alien unlawfully present in the United States found possessing firearms and ammunition as well as being previously convicted on felony charges; he also faces unlawful reentry allegations after removal in March 2020. ATF and Homeland Security Investigations are working together on this matter; prosecution is handled by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tara Heign and John Brasher.
Sugar John Thomas—a member of the Muscogee Creek Nation—faces seven counts: escape from lawful confinement at a residential center; two counts relating to felon-in-possession offenses involving firearms or ammunition; possessing contraband within prison; assault with a dangerous weapon intending bodily harm in Indian Country; carrying or brandishing a firearm during violent crime; and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. The investigative agencies include the U.S. Marshal Service alongside Muscogee Creek Nation Lighthorse Police Department and Tulsa Police Department; prosecution falls under Assistant U.S. Attorney Stacey Todd.
Christopher Scott Weeden Jr., age 23 from Tulsa—and also identified as Cherokee Nation—has been indicted for child abuse allegedly resulting in bruising and head trauma to an individual under eighteen years old. Both FBI agents and Tulsa police are leading investigations while Assistant U.S. Attorney Valeria Luster prosecutes.
According to prosecutors: “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.”
All defendants remain presumed innocent until proven guilty through judicial proceedings.
