OKLAHOMA CITY – KYLER WOMACK, 34, of Guthrie, has been sentenced to serve 21 months in federal prison for conspiring to commit wire fraud, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.

On February 20, 2024, a federal grand jury returned a three-count Indictment against Womack and co-defendant MEGAN MCKINLEY, 34, charging them with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft. According to public record, in September 2023, Womack and McKinley conspired together to purchase three vehicles using the stolen information of other individuals. The couple’s attempted purchase of a fourth vehicle was unsuccessful and led to their arrests. Court records allege the couple possessed the personal information of hundreds of individuals. There is no evidence the couple was responsible for the original theft of the information, and how they came to possess the information is unknown.

Both couples have pleaded guilty to Count 1 of the Indictment, and admitted they conspired together to commit wire fraud by fraudulently purchasing vehicles with stolen means of identification.

On August 27, 2024, McKinley was sentenced to serve 18 months in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised release.

At the sentencing hearing November 1, 2024, U.S. District Judge Patrick R. Wyrick sentenced Womack to serve 21 months in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised release. In announcing his sentence, Judge Wyrick noted the significant number of stolen identities that Mr. Womack and Ms. McKinley had acquired, and the great harm they could have done if not caught quickly.

This case is the result of an investigation by the Norman Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney D.H. Dilbeck prosecuted the case.
