Tulsa Authorities Seek Person Of Interest In Woman's Assault

Authorities are looking for a wanted man they are calling a person of interest in a brutal assault and battery.

The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office said a woman was seriously injured in the assault in the 5300 block of West 2nd Street early Sunday morning. She was taken to a Tulsa hospital with life threatening injuries and is still being treated, they said.

Deputies are seeking 36-year-old Corey Lamont Reese (AKA "C Reese") for questioning in the crime. They said Reese also has an outstanding warrant for possession of a firearm after a felony conviction. That warrant carries a $160,000 bond.

In 2007, Reese pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact in a murder case, for which he received one year in prison, records show.

Anyone with information about Reese's whereabouts is asked to call the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigative Division at 918-596-8661, or call 911.
