Adam Rouse, Brendan Shane Holder, Damion Blair Bradley George, and Kristopher Hauser, all from Oklahoma City, have admitted guilt to charges of maiming as part of racketeering. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester. The charges stem from their involvement with the Irish Mob Gang, a group implicated in drug distribution, firearms trafficking, and violence.
In November 2024, a federal Grand Jury indicted the accused, outlining their violent acts within the gang. According to the indictment, to gain and maintain status in the gang, Rouse and Holder severed a victim's right pinkie finger with a hatchet. Additionally, Holder, George, and Hauser were involved in burning a gang tattoo off a victim's head using a heated machete.
All four individuals pleaded guilty to the charges by April 1, 2025. They each face penalties of up to 30 years in federal prison and fines that could reach $250,000.
The case is under investigation by Homeland Security Investigations along with the Norman Police Department. The prosecution is led by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Stephen Hoch and David McCrary.
Further details on the case can be found in public filings.
