TULSA, Okla. – In a shocking turn of events, a Claremore man has been sentenced to 180 months imprisonment for his role in a violent assault and methamphetamine trafficking case.
Justin Mark Boyce, 43, was found guilty of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon with Intent to do Bodily Harm in Indian Country, Possession of a Firearm in Furtherance of a Crime in Violence, and Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute.
According to court records, the incident occurred in August 2022, when Boyce confronted the victim about an unpaid debt. During the argument, Boyce fired several rounds towards the victim and fled the scene.
While investigating the shooting, the Rogers County Sheriff’s Department conducted a search warrant on Boyce’s home, where they found several firearms, ammunition, and over 50 grams of methamphetamine.
Boyce admitted to possessing the methamphetamine with the intention of selling and distributing it.
As a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, Boyce will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Rogers County Sheriff’s Department investigated the case, with Assistant U.S. Attorney John Brasher and Kenneth Elmore prosecuting the case.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence by fostering trust and legitimacy in communities, supporting community-based organizations, and setting focused enforcement priorities.
