Catoosa Resident Sentenced To 15 Years For Violent Assault Against Intimate Partner
MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – A Catoosa man is headed to the slammer for 15 years after being convicted of brutally assaulting his intimate partner at knifepoint.
James Tyler Garbey, age 36, of Catoosa, Oklahoma, received a total of 180 months in prison for one count of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon with Intent to do Bodily Harm in Indian Country, and 60 consecutive months in prison for one count of Assault Resulting in Substantial Bodily Injury to a Spouse or Intimate Partner in Indian Country.
The charges stem from a disturbing investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office.

The victim suffered substantial bodily injury in the ordeal, which occurred in Wagoner County, within the boundaries of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Reservation in the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
On December 12, 2023, Garbey pleaded guilty to the charges. The Honorable Ronald A. White, Chief Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, presided over the hearing.
Assistant United States Attorney Michael E. Robinson represented the United States. Garbey will remain in custody of the U.S. Marshals pending transportation to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to serve a non-paroleable sentence of incarceration.
