Tulsa Man Sentenced for Violence Committed in Aid of Racketeering
A Tulsa man was sentenced to 57 months in prison today for violence committed in aid of racketeering, announced Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Danny C. Williams Sr. of the Northern District of Oklahoma.
Robert Allen Paul Bryan, 41, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty on June 4, 2015, before U.S. District Judge Claire V. Eagan of the Northern District of Oklahoma.
In connection with his guilty plea, Bryan acknowledged his association with the Universal Aryan Brotherhood (UAB), a violent, “whites only” prison-based gang with members and associates operating inside and outside of state prisons throughout Oklahoma. Bryan admitted that in May 2013, he and other UAB members, operating on orders from the UAB’s governing body, restrained a former UAB member while other gang members used a heated knife to burn off the victim’s UAB neck tattoo.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations; the Tulsa Police Department; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigations Division; the FBI; the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office and the Oklahoma Department of Corrections investigated the case.
“This sentence holds Bryan accountable for his role in the UAB’s violent activities,” said U.S. Attorney Williams. “Our office is committed to dismantling the UAB and other prison gangs that terrorize Oklahoma’s prisons and communities.”
Bryan’s sentence was announced by Assistant U.S. Attorney Allen Litchfield and Jan Reincke of the Northern District of Oklahoma.
Trial Attorney John C. Hanley of the Criminal Division’s Organized Crime and Gang Section, prosecuted the case.
