Skiatook Man Sentenced for Strangling Partner and Witness Tampering

U.S. District Judge John D. Russell sentenced Jesse Wayne Caughron, 38, to 144 months imprisonment, followed by 3 years of supervised release. Caughron pled guilty to Assault of an Intimate Dating Partner by Strangling, Suffocating, and Attempting to Strangle and Suffocate in Indian County; and Witness Tampering.

According to court documents, Caughron accused his partner of cheating on him. He then suffocated her with a pillow, hit her repeatedly, and strangled her until she lost consciousness, causing a life-threatening injury. When the victim obtained a protective order against Caughron, he violated it sending harassing and threatening messages. He further attempted to mislead the victim and prevent her from testifying.

Caughron is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. He was previously released on bond and ordered not to have contact with the victim. However, Caughron violated the no-contact order and was detained for violating the conditions of his release. He will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
