A 23-year-old Moore, Oklahoma man was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison on July 9, 2026, for second-degree burglary committed within Indian Country, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
Nariah Demournay Jones pleaded guilty on March 18, 2026, in federal district court in the Eastern District of Oklahoma. The underlying offense occurred on April 2, 2024, when Jones and two co-defendants broke into a detached garage in Wewoka with the intent to commit a felony, according to the Justice Department.
Inside the garage, co-defendants Demontrae Davion Rogers and Damarion Hiawatha Nichols held four people at gunpoint. The two struck one of those individuals with their weapons, leaving that person with lacerations and abrasions.
Rogers, 20, of Wewoka, was sentenced on April 1, 2026. He received 21 months for a weapons-based assault charge in Indian Country, plus 84 months for using, carrying, and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, with those two terms running consecutively. An additional 12-month term for possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number runs concurrently with his assault sentence.
Nichols, 21, also of Moore, was sentenced on March 5, 2026, and received 46 months after being convicted on four counts of armed assault causing bodily harm in Indian Country.
The case was prosecuted by the Eastern District of Oklahoma U.S. Attorney's Office, which is based in Muskogee.
