Today in Tulsa, Oklahoma, U.S. District Judge John F. Heil III sentenced Terry Ross Killion to 24 months in prison for aggravated identity theft. The sentence includes one year of supervised release and an order to pay $116,763 in restitution.
In 2019, Killion assumed the identity of his deceased friend Kelly Davis. He established multiple accounts under Davis's name and contacted the Social Security Administration pretending to be him. Killion redirected payments meant for Davis to himself.
Killion will remain in custody until he is transferred to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The investigation was conducted by the Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General – Dallas Kansas City Field Division. Assistant U.S. Attorney George Jiang prosecuted the case.
