Maybrays sentenced for armed assault on bank agent

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Nick A. Mabray, 37, and Gene Mabray, 68, both of Tahlequah, were sentenced for their roles in a January 2021 assault on a bank agent.

Nick A. Mabray was sentenced to 84 months in prison for one count of use of a firearm during a Crime of Violence, to be served consecutive to an additional 46 months each for one count of conspiracy to commit assault with a dangerous weapon in Indian Country, and one count of assault with a dangerous weapon in Indian Country, to be served concurrently. He was found guilty of these charges by a federal jury on Aug. 15, 2023.

Gene Mabray was sentenced to 27 months for one count of conspiracy to commit assault with a dangerous weapon in Indian Country. He entered his guilty plea to the count on July 5, 2023.

The charges arose from investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Cherokee County Sheriff ’s Department.

According to investigators, on Jan. 6, 2021, the Mabrays assaulted a RCB Bank agent at a foreclosed property in Park Hill. At the conclusion of a court-ordered inspection of the property, Nick Mabray rammed the agent’s truck with his own vehicle, disabling it.

As the agent dialed 911 for help, the Mabrays forced the agent from the rammed truck at gunpoint, Gene Mabray relieved the agent of the cellphone and a firearm, and Nick Mabray beat the agent with a firearm, threatening to kill him.

The crimes occurred in Cherokee County, within the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation Reservation of Oklahoma, in the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

The defendants were remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshal Service pending transportation to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to serve their nonparoleable sentences of incarceration.
