(Stillwater, Okla.) — A convicted child molester was given two concurrent 10-year prison terms for breaking into a Stillwater man’s house while he was in bed and spitting on a guard in the Payne County Jail after he was arrested, both felonies to which he pleaded guilty last week.
Preston Kyle Holley, 38, who was listed as homeless, also pleaded guilty to violating the Oklahoma Sex Offender Registration Act, a felony for which he was given a concurrent five-year prison term.
The resident in the burglarized house was lying in bed when he heard a noise in his living room that he thought was his cat until he heard someone talking, an affidavit said.
He said he grabbed his pistol and walked toward the living room where he saw a stranger trying to climb through his front window, the affidavit said. He said the burglar had ripped out the window unit to gain access, the affidavit said.
When the resident announced he was armed with a gun, the burglar yelled back, “I’m gonna kill all you …in three seconds,” the affidavit said.
The resident said he fired a warning shot and struck the brick to the bottom left of the window — missing the burglar, the affidavit said.
When police arrived at 12:01 am on May 15, Stillwater Police Officer Terry Low pointed a rifle at the burglar and told him to put his hands up, but the burglar yelled something back and staggered toward the officer, the affidavit said.
After being handcuffed, Holley “began to yell that I needed to remove the handcuffs at once and that he has broken thumbs,” the officer wrote in his affidavit. Holley “mentioned that he was a judge and he was ordering me to take the handcuffs off of him,” the officer wrote in his affidavit.
Holley had previously been convicted of molesting a 14-year-old girl in Beaver County in 2000, possessing stolen property in Beaver County in 2001, attempted first-degree burglary and obtaining money by false pretenses in Beaver County in 2008, unauthorized use of a vehicle in Woodward County in 2017, and violating the Sex Offender Registration Act in Payne County in 2016, court records show. Holley got out of prison about six years ago, Department of Corrections records show.
