Robbery in Indian Country Lands Woman in Federal Prison
A 24-year-old Sand Springs woman who aided her boyfriend in a 2018 robbery was sentenced Tuesday in federal court, announced U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.
Tori Lynn Lasley, a citizen of the Seminole Nation, was sentenced to seven years in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release. This sentence stems from her guilty plea on November 3, 2021, to Robbery in Indian Country.
On May 28, 2018, Lasley and her boyfriend, Peyton Drew Keele, 32, of Tryon, robbed a victim in the Muscogee Nation reservation. During the robbery, Keele stabbed the victim in the leg. Lasley and Keele then stole numerous items belonging to the victim, including jewelry, a wallet, a cell phone, an antique revolver, and the victim’s car.
According to court documents, the victim was suffering from a stab wound to the leg when officers responded to the scene. The victim reported that Keele and Lasley had entered his apartment under the ruse of returning a cell phone they had previously stolen from him.
Lasley admitted that she knew what Keele was going to do and intentionally participated in the robbery. The FBI and Tulsa Police Department conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas E. Buscemi is prosecuting the case.
“Tori Lasley knowingly took part in a planned robbery and consequently will be incarcerated for seven years,” said U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. “Federal prosecutors and our partners at the FBI and Tulsa Police Department will vigorously pursue and hold accountable individuals who commit violent crime within our community.”
Lasley is currently serving her seven-year sentence in federal prison. The case is a reminder that violent crime will not be tolerated within our community, and those who commit such crimes will be held accountable.
