Okmulgee Man Sentenced to 30 Months for Stalking

MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – On September 19, 2025, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Garrick DaVaughn McCrary, a 30-year-old resident of Okmulgee, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for one count of stalking. The sentencing marks the culmination of a nearly two-year investigation into McCrary’s actions, which involved using the internet and social media to harass and intimidate a victim.

The case, investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Lighthorse Tribal Police Department, revealed that from April 2023 to January 16, 2025, McCrary sent graphic and threatening messages designed to cause harm and distress. These actions led to his arrest and subsequent guilty plea on May 9, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

Chief U.S. District Judge Ronald A. White presided over the sentencing hearing, where McCrary received a non-paroleable 30-month sentence. Following the hearing, McCrary remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service, awaiting transfer to a designated Bureau of Prisons facility to serve his term.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jacob R. Parker represented the United States in the prosecution, ensuring accountability for McCrary’s actions. The case underscores the serious consequences of using digital platforms to perpetrate harassment and the collaborative efforts of federal and tribal law enforcement in addressing such crimes.
