STILLWATER — A 32-year-old ex-convict from Cushing has been given five concurrent 15-year prison terms for committing multiple property crimes while he was on parole, court records show.
Thomas Andrew Lumpkin had pleaded guilty last year to his charges; he was then released from the Payne County Jail to participate in Christian Alcoholics and Addicts in Recovery program from which he was terminated earlier this year.
Lumpkin was sentenced to prison last week by Payne County Associate District Judge Michael Kulling, who also ordered him to pay restitution, court records show.
Lumpkin had admitted to stealing copper wire from a Contango Resources oil well site in Ripley, damaging the company’s property by using a vehicle to hook onto and pull 165 feet of copper from the ground between two junction boxes, and also possessing two checkbooks stolen from a Creek County man, all on May 16, 2024.
His girlfriend, Anna Delynne Henshaw, 34, of Drumright, who had been arrested with him at a relative’s residence by Payne County Sheriff’s Investigator Brandon Myers, also pleaded guilty to the above charges and was released from jail with an order to successfully complete the Drug Court program pending her sentencing on Sept. 16 of this year.
In a separate case investigated by Myers, Lumpkin admitted to concealing on Feb. 22, 2024, in Cushing a 16-foot Texas Bragg trailer stolen in rural Stillwater; a trailer with water tank, rotary tiller, a roll of poly pipe and two-inch PVC pipe stolen in rural Cushing; and a Conex box, contents and arena panels stolen from a Cushing church site, court records show.
According to the state Department of Corrections, Lumpkin had been released from prison in June of 2023, after serving about five and one-half months of two concurrent five-year sentences for possessing stolen property and being a felon in possession of a firearm, both in Payne County in 2022.
Lumpkin had also served at the same time one month of a concurrent two-year prison term for forgery in Payne County in 2021, and one month of a concurrent two-year prison term for possessing a stolen vehicle in Payne County in 2020.
Lumpkin had also been convicted of drug possession in Payne County in 2017 and 2015, DOC records show.
