January 27, 2010 - Sheldon J. Sperling, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, announced today that ROGER REED, age 23, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 50 months' imprisonment, followed by 36 months of supervised release for bank robbery, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2113(a).

The indictment alleged that on or about July 10, 2009, the defendant walked into the Bank of Oklahoma, located at 300 N. 32nd Street in Muskogee and gave the teller a demand note.

Charges arose from an investigation by the Muskogee Police Department, the Little Rock Police Department, and Federal Bureau of Investigation. REED was indicted in July 2009 and pled guilty in August 2009.

The Honorable Ronald A. White, District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, in Muskogee, presided over today’s hearing.
