Muskogee, Oklahoma criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with attempted murder in Indian County, two counts of Child Abuse in Indian Country (Counts 3 and 5), and one count of Child Neglect in Indian Country (Count 7), all relating to his abuse and maltreatment of his two young stepsons.

Mr. Collins and his Co-Defendant Tambara Collins (“Mrs. Collins”) resided in Okmulgee, Oklahoma with Mrs. Collins' two young sons, J.M. (six-years-old) and R.M. (four-years-old), and the Collins' infant daughter, E.C. On or around June 11, 2023, Mr. Collins came to believe that J.M. and R.M. had stolen money from him. Throughout the day of June 11, 2023, Mr. Collins took J.M. around the Collins' residence and surrounding property in an effort to locate the money; Mr. Collins repeatedly struck J.M. in the head and face during this ordeal in an attempt to extract information from him. J.M. described how Mr. Collins struck him in the head with a pipe, twisted his arm behind his back until his finger broke, and stomped on his head and body because he was unable to locate the money.
