Timeline of Sequoyah Co. double homicide suspect’s criminal past
Sequoyah Co. double homicide suspect’s criminal record and timeline.
Accident – Death – Obituary News : Stacy Lee Drake, a 50-year-old individual with a criminal record dating back to 1993, has recently been the focus of a shocking double homicide case in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. The incident, which occurred on June 18, has sent law enforcement agencies on a multi-state manhunt for Drake, who is currently on the run and is considered to be armed and dangerous, as reported by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI).
After allegedly committing the double homicide at LaFerry’s Propane in Gans, Oklahoma, Drake was last seen at a hotel in Morrilton, Arkansas, where he abandoned a stolen vehicle. As details of the crime spree emerged, Drake’s extensive criminal history came to light, revealing a series of convictions and allegations involving violent crimes and robberies.
In 1994, Drake was convicted of armed robbery in Arizona, marking his first felony conviction. Subsequently, in 2003, he was found guilty of aggravated assault in Arizona, following an incident in Golden Valley where he attacked a peace officer. This incident constituted his second felony conviction.
In February 2010, Drake was accused of holding a man at gunpoint outside a store in Alabama, subsequently taking the man’s wallet and truck. An indictment was filed against him in federal court in the Northern District of Alabama on April 1, 2010, charging him with carjacking, brandishing a firearm, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Drake pleaded guilty to all three charges in August 2010, leading to a 22-year prison sentence as an Armed Career Criminal and Career Offender. Upon release, he was placed on 60 months of supervised release and ordered to pay $2,500 in restitution to the victim.
Due to his status as a career criminal, Drake’s 2010 prison sentence was enhanced under the “three strikes law.” In 2016, he requested resentencing, citing a Supreme Court decision that redefined what constituted a violent felony. Consequently, Drake became entitled to be resentenced without career offender enhancements, leading to a reduced sentence of just over 11 years in prison in 2017.
Following his resentencing, Drake was in and out of custody for various crimes, with one instance where he was wanted by authorities but later apprehended and placed in U.S. Marshal custody. In March 2022, he was arrested for first-degree robbery related to the 2010 incident in Dale County, Alabama, receiving 36 months of unsupervised probation through a plea bargain.
The recent double homicide in Sequoyah County on June 18 has reignited the spotlight on Drake, who is now the prime suspect in the case. As the manhunt for him continues across multiple states, authorities have urged the public to exercise caution, as Drake is considered armed and dangerous.
