According to reports, Vincent L. Burrough has had
more than 12 felony circuit court interactions since
1993. He was sentenced as a habitual offender in two
separate drug cases in Sebastian County Circuit Court on February 15. He faced
charges of trafficking a controlled substance, possession of scheduled I/II controlled
substances, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
In 2017, the man was sentenced to serve 180 months in prison on similar drug
charges..
Since then, he has been arrested two more times in Sebastian County. He was
arrested in July 2022 for maintaining a premises for drug activity trafficking and possession of paraphernalia.
On January 19, an Arkansas State Police trooper arrested the man for trafficking
possession of schedule narcotics, driving while license was canceled/suspended,
failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, and speeding over the posted limit.
Court records also show that the man has been arrested for multiple charges in
Leflore and Sequoyah counties. RANDELL

Accused car thief released from NC jail allegedly steals bond agent’s SUV
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A man accused of stealing a car apparently could not resist another theft
when he bonded out of jail.
According to a bail bond agent in Charlotte, North Carolina, her vehicle was
stolen after she went inside the Mecklenburg County Jail on Dec. 30 to post bail
for a client, WSOC-TV reported. She accused a man who had just posted bail
of swiping her vehicle.
“He has to be the boldest and the dumbest criminal in the city,” Nymea Cropper told the television station. “The audacity to get out of jail, walk outside of the
jail and steal a car.”
According to police, Anthony Deshawn Goddard, 29, posted $3,000 bail after
being arrested on Dec. 29. According to online Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s
Office booking records, Goddard had been charged with possession of stolen
goods, resisting an officer, reckless driving, speeding, and operating a vehicle
without an operator’s license.
According to police, surveillance video showed Goddard breaking into Cropper’s SUV and driving away, WSOC reported.
“The car was definitely stolen at 11:02 (p.m.). I came outside at 11:05,” Cropper told the television station. “So this kid just thinks he can steal a car and
nothing’s going to happen to him.”
Cropper said that she has spoken to other bail bond businesses and believes
that if the alleged thief is caught, bail will be next to impossible to secure. She
also reiterated her message to the person who swiped her vehicle.
“I would say you’re stupid,” Cropper told WSOC. “You’re the stupidest criminal and I can’t wait until you get caught, ‘cause no one is going to bond you
out,” she said.

A LESSON IN
CRUELTY
McAlester residents Billy James Menees, 29,
and Ashley Dawn Marie Schardein, 27, were both
found guilty by a federal jury of one count of Child
Abuse in Indian Country and one count of Child
Neglect in Indian Country.
The jury trial began with testimony on Tuesday,
February 14, 2023 and concluded on Thursday,
February 23, 2023 with the guilty verdicts.
During the trial, the United States presented
evidence that beginning in January of 2019, Billy
Menees and his live-in girlfriend, Ashley Schardein, began the systematic abuse and neglect of
the then 9-year-old child victim in their care. They
began by restricting the victim’s access to food
and excessively punishing the victim by means of
physical force, including striking the victim with a
paddle, belt, and bar of soap in a sock. Menees
and Schardein also forced the victim to take cold
showers and denied the victim access to a bathroom. Physical abuse and neglect continued to escalate when they isolated the
victim by withdrawing the victim from public school in October of 2019. The
victim was repeatedly beaten, hog-tied with a rope, and left to sleep on a barren
concrete floor.
A welfare check on May 9, 2020 led to the discovery of the victim with a shaven head and bruises covering the entirety of the victim’s emaciated body.
The guilty verdicts were the result of an investigation by the McAlester Police
Department, the District Attorney’s Office for District 18, the Oklahoma State
Bureau of Investigation, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma prosecuted the case because the victim in this case is a member of a federally
recognized Indian tribe and the crimes occurred in Pittsburg County, within the
boundaries of the Choctaw Nation Reservation, and within the Eastern District
of Oklahoma.
The Honorable Timothy D. DeGiusti, U.S. Chief District Judge of the United
States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, in Oklahoma City,
presided over the trial and ordered the completion of the presentence reports.
The sentencings will be scheduled following completion of the reports and the

AROUND
THE STATE
Agents from the Oklahoma State Bureau of
Investigation (OSBI) Internet Crimes Against
Children (ICAC) Unit arrested Christopher
Spaulding, 19, for allegations of possessing
child pornography.
The case originated in October 2022 when the National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children (NCMEC) received a report of suspected child pornography from Dropbox. The IP address associated with the account was located in Altus and NCMEC forwarded the tip to the Altus Police Department.
Altus police requested assistance from the OSBI ICAC Unit in December.
On March 2, agents served a search warrant at a residence in the 1000
block of N. Jackson Street in Altus. Spaulding was arrested at the home
and transported to the Jackson County Jail. He is facing one felony charge
of Aggravated Possession of Child Pornography and one felony charge of
Violation of the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act. Spaulding is being held
without bail.
OSBI was assisted by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and the District
3 Drug Task Force. AUSTIN
