(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Pawnee man was given a four-year prison term by a Payne County judge after his probation for stealing a large amount of oilfield equipment from High Energy Equipment in Cushing in 2011 was revoked in court Friday.As part of a plea bargain, District Judge Phillip Corley Friday ordered that the Payne County sentence for Jimmy Leroy Oyler, 33, run concurrently to a five-year prison term he was given five months ago in Pawnee County for false declaration of ownership in pawn in 2009.Fifteen months ago in Payne County, Oyler had been placed on probation for seven years with an order to pay $13,225 restitution for the High Energy Equipment larceny in Cushing, court records show.Two years ago, his co-defendant, Travis Dirl McClain, 27, of Tulsa, had been placed on five years’ probation in Payne County with an order to pay $13,225 restitution and a $250 fine in the Cushing oilfield equipment theft, court records show.McClain was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2012 from Pawnee County for second-degree rape, state Department of Corrections records show. McClain also has a conviction for possession of juvenile pornography in 2011 from Tulsa County, for which he was given five years’ probation, DOC records show.According to court records, Cushing Police Officer Lucas Armenta was sent to High Energy Equipment at 720 N. Little on Nov. 29, 2011, at 6:31 a.m. on a theft report.The business owner said that “one of the locks at one of the gates was unlocked and one of the locks on the other gate had been cut,” the affidavit said.The owner said “she has had stuff missing from the beginning of November,” but just realized what all was missing, the affidavit said.She said that on Nov. 30, 2011, about 7 a.m. “they have put up a camera on the property for the next time she has property missing,” the affidavit said.About two weeks later, on Dec. 10, 2011, Cushing Police Officer Justin Sappington told the officer that he was sent to the business the previous day on a report of someone on the property with a flashlight, the affidavit said.Sappington said that he arrested Oyler and McClain at High Energy Equipment in Cushing, but did not catch them taking anything from the property, the affidavit said.When Oyler was interviewed by Armenta, he said that McClain had picked him up at his house in Pawnee about 8 p.m. Dec. 9, 2011, and they got to Cushing about an hour later, the affidavit said.”Oyler told me that McClain dropped him off outside of the gate at the property so that he could go scout for material they were going to steal. Oyler told me McClain went across the street in a parking lot with his lights off.”Oyler told me that he called McClain when he was done and McClain would pull up to the gate. Oyler told me that McClain would cut the lock and drive into the property and they were going to start loading property up until Master Patrol Officer Sappington arrived,” Armenta wrote in his affidavit.”Jimmy Oyler admitted to us that he has been to High Energy Equipment three to four times in the past and has taken motors and valves with Travis McClain,” Armenta wrote in his affidavit.When McClain was interviewed, he admitted “he has been at High Energy Equipment three to four times and had taken property from there. McClain told us that he had only cut the lock of the gate and not off any of the storage units.”McClain told me that he would pull his truck inside the gate and would only take the property that was outside on the ground around the buildings.”McClain told me that it was only him and Jimmy Oyler that would take property from High Energy Equipment.”McClain told me that the last time he had taken anything from High Energy Equipment was about a week ago,” Armenta wrote in his affidavit.
