U.S. District Judge John D. Russell has sentenced two men in connection with a robbery at a marijuana dispensary in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Ronald Buckley, Jr., 39, received a sentence of 150 months’ imprisonment for Robbery in Indian Country and Carrying, Using, and Brandishing a Firearm During a Crime of Violence. He will also serve five years of supervised release following his prison term. Terrance Vohn Morrow, 41, was sentenced to 21 months’ imprisonment for Accessory After the Fact to Obstructing, Delaying, and Affecting Commerce by Robbery. Morrow will be under three years of supervised release after serving his sentence.
The incident occurred in May 2024 when Tulsa Police responded to a robbery at the dispensary. Witnesses reported that the suspect brandished a handgun while demanding money and marijuana. Surveillance footage showed the suspect leaving the scene in a vehicle that was waiting for him. Authorities identified Buckley as the individual who committed the robbery and discharged the firearm during the incident.
Further investigation revealed that Buckley entered Morrow’s vehicle after committing the crime. Following Buckley’s arrest, Morrow attempted to conceal his vehicle by moving it into a heavily wooded area.
Court records indicate that Buckley was already under supervision by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections for an earlier robbery at the time of this offense. He is identified as a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
The FBI collaborated with the Tulsa Police Department and Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office on this case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Stephen Flynn and Kenneth Elmore led the prosecution.
This case falls under Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), an initiative aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence through collaboration between law enforcement agencies and communities. The Department’s strategy focuses on building trust within communities, supporting violence prevention organizations, setting strategic enforcement priorities, and evaluating outcomes.
