MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – A Seminole man has been handed a severe sentence for his fraudulent theft of nearly $250,000 from federal funds.
According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, 41-year-old Randall Pete Loftis was sentenced to four years of probation and ordered to pay $249,000 in restitution for Theft From Organization Receiving Federal Program Funds. The charges stem from an extensive investigation by the Seminole Police Department and the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General – Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS).
The Information filed against Loftis alleges he embezzled over $5,000 in property owned by Enviro Systems, Inc., an organization that received federal benefits exceeding $10,000 annually between 2011 and 2016. He did this by fraudulently using the company’s credit card for personal purchases.
United States Attorney Brian J. Kuester emphasized the gravity of Loftis’s actions, stating, “The defendant over a period of years fraudulently used a company credit card to purchase items valued at nearly $250,000 for his personal enrichment. DCIS investigators and members of this office have successfully brought him to justice.”
The sentencing was presided over by U.S. District Judge Ronald A. White in Muskogee. Assistant United States Attorney Rob Wallace represented the government in the case.
This conviction sends a clear message that theft from federal funds will not be tolerated, and those who exploit these programs face severe consequences.
