On November 8, 2024, the Multi-County Grand Jury in Oklahoma City indicted four men for their involvement in robberies at two marijuana grow operations in Oklahoma. The individuals are accused of stealing cash and marijuana.
The accused are Geane Johnson Jr., 25, Herbert Lee Morris Jr., 20, Anthony Jermaine Rainger, 21, and Ameil Jordan Elijah Rainger, 20. They face several felony charges related to incidents at Butter Cookies LLC in Marlow on June 25 and Fuda2020 LLC in Alex on June 29. Authorities allege that the men committed these crimes in association with the Murder I Blood street gang.
“These crimes are among the many dangerous activities we are seeing across our state following the legalization of medical marijuana,” stated Attorney General Gentner Drummond. “My office is committed to stamping out these crimes and holding accountable those who are endangering public safety.”
The charges against them include nine felony counts such as conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, assault while masked or in disguise, commission of a gang-related offense, and engaging in a pattern of criminal offenses. Additionally, Johnson and Morris face charges for possession of a firearm during a felony.
Investigations suggest that these individuals may be linked to other similar robberies currently under investigation. It is important to note that all persons arrested or indicted are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
