Tulsa Trio Face Federal Heat

⏱ 2 min read

Tulsa is dealing with a surge in federal charges this week. Quincy Jay Adams, 32, a Muscogee (Creek) Nation man, is accused of brutally attacking a woman in Indian Country, allegedly using a gun and strangling her. Separately, authorities busted Vismar Erick Atahuichi Alanoca, 38, a Bolivian national, for dealing in child pornography. And rounding out the indictments is Venkateswara Chagamreddy, 27, an Indian citizen allegedly running a complex fraud operation.

Adams, according to court papers unsealed this week, faces charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, using a firearm during a violent crime, and domestic abuse by strangulation. The incident happened in Indian Country, giving the feds jurisdiction. No details of the attack itself were immediately released, but the charges paint a grim picture.

Meanwhile, Homeland Security Investigations and the Tulsa Police Department took down Alanoca, alleging he was actively seeking to exchange graphic images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of children. The investigation suggests a network for distributing the vile content. Investigators haven’t released details of how Alanoca allegedly operated.

The third indictment targets Venkateswara Chagamreddy, charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, impersonating a federal officer and extortion that crossed state lines. This is a superseding indictment – meaning the original charges have been expanded, hinting at a wider, more complex scheme than initially understood. He allegedly conned victims by pretending to be law enforcement.
