(Stillwater, Okla.) – An ex-convict with a criminal record in four counties and his partner have been charged together with breaking into a car outside the Ripley Post Office — from which a purse was stolen on Christmas Eve, according to court records.
Jessie Randall Hiltzman, 37, who got out of prison in 2012, and Robyn J. Pryor, 36, who lived with him in a Ripley apartment, both remain in the Payne County Jail on $20,000 bail each pending court appearances this week on various charges, court records show.
Hiltzman was also charged last week with passing a $150 check with the forged signature of a Perkins man at Bill’s EZ Out in Cushing on Dec. 20, court records show.
Pryor was also charged last week with stealing a woman’s handbag and blank checks of the Perkins man on Dec. 19, court records show.
The couple were also charged together last week with possessing an altered air pistol on Dec. 30, court records show.
Pryor was also charged last week with possessing on Dec. 30 a camera and 42 movie DVDs stolen from a sheriff’s deputy, court records show.
In an affidavit for the couple’s joint charges, Payne County Sheriff’s Investigator George Disel said that he assisted a Ripley police officer on Dec. 30 with an investigation into the Christmas Eve car burglary outside the Ripley Post Office in which a woman’s purse was stolen.
The Ripley officer had identified the couple as suspects “because they had been at the post office at the time of the burglary,” the affidavit alleged.
The sheriff’s investigator obtained a search warrant for the couple’s apartment and found an item that had been in the victim’s purse, the affidavit alleged.
In another affidavit, Disel said that he recovered a camera that a sheriff’s deputy had reported as stolen from his residence during a burglary on Jan. 10, 2014.
A man said that in March or April of 2014, he bought the camera from Pryor while they were in the parking lot of the Cimarron Casino in Perkins, the affidavit alleged.
In searching her residence on Dec. 30, 2014, the sheriff’s investigator said that he recovered 42 movie DVDs that a sheriff’s deputy identified as stolen from his residence on Jan. 10, 2014, the affidavit alleged.
The sheriff’s investigator also assisted a deputy into the investigation of the theft of a purse and checks from a rural Perkins residence, the affidavit said.
A Perkins man came home to find Pryor inside his residence uninvited and after after she left “realized that his daughter’s purse and some of his checks were missing from their stored location inside the residence,” on Dec. 18 or 19, the affidavit alleged.
The man subsequently learned that someone had forged his name on one of his checks that was passed at Bill’s EZ Out in Cushing on Dec. 20, the affidavit alleged.
A clerk at the Cushing store said that she had taken the check on Dec. 20 from Hiltzman, who was viewed on store video recording as passing the stolen check, the affidavit alleged.
In another case, Hiltzman was charged last May with escaping from a sheriff’s deputy and possessing drug paraphernalia, court records show.
Payne County Sheriff’s Deputy Brandon Myers had been dispatched at 3:28 p.m. on May 27, 2014, to a 911 open line that sounded like a domestic disturbance at a Ripley apartment complex, court records show.
Hiltzman and Pryor were involved in a verbal argument just outside the apartments, the deputy alleged in an affidavit.
Hiltzman was arrested since he had an outstanding felony warrant from Kay County, the affidavit said.
“A search incident to arrest produced a syringe in his left front pocket,” the affidavit alleged.
After Hiltzman was placed in the back seat of a patrol car, Myers went with Deputy Dan Nack to arrest a woman in the apartment on an outstanding warrant, the affidavit said.
“As I returned to my patrol car, I noticed my rear window had been rolled down and Jessie (Hiltzman) was no longer in my back seat. Deputy Nack searched the area and found Jessie hiding in some bushes north of our location about 50 yards,” Myers alleged in his affidavit.
According to court records, Pryor was placed on five years’ probation last June for shoplifting clothing, jewelry, a vacuum cleaner and a carpet cleaner, with a total value of $1,110, from the Walmart on Perkins Road in Stillwater on Nov. 9, 2012.
Pryor had also been placed on five years’ probation in 2006 in the Drumright division of Creek County District Court for unauthorized use of a vehicle and drug possession in 2005, court records show.
According to state Department of Corrections records, Hiltzman apparently got out of prison in September 2012 after serving time for two Cushing burglaries.
Hiltzman had been given a three-year prison term for burglarizing a Cushing convenience store and breaking into a Cushing house, as well as being a felon in possession of a firearm, all in 2010, court records show. He only served seven months of that Payne County sentence, DOC record show.
In 2003 in Kay County, Hiltzman was given a five-year prison term followed by 10 years of probation for possessing a bomb or explosive and burglary, court records show. He remains on probation in both of those cases until Nov. 30, 2018, DOC records show.
In 1998 in Tulsa County, Hiltzman was given a four-year prison term for felony possession of marijuana in 1996, DOC records show.
In 1996 in Creek County, Hiltzman was given a four-year prison term for second-degree burglary in 1996, DOC records show.
In 1994 in Tulsa County, Hiltman was given a two-year prison term for delivery of marijuana, DOC records show.
