Tulsa Man Sentenced For Attacking His Ex-Girlfriend On Mother’s Day 2021

A Tulsa man was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for breaking into a former girlfriend’s home and strangling her on Mother’s Day in 2021.

28-year-old Anthony Lamont Mason II was convicted of one count of assault by strangling in Indian Country and one count of first-degree burglary in Indian Country in May of 2022. U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson said this case illustrates his office's commitment to prosecuting these types of violent crimes.

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma is committed to prosecuting domestic violence cases and protecting victims,” said Johnson. “Anthony Mason II will spend seven years in prison for a violent attack on his ex-girlfriend while children were in the home. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Chantelle Dial and George Jiang are to be commended for their astute performance at trial and their advocacy for the victim in this case. ”

U.S. District Judge sentenced Mason to 84 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release.

The investigation into the assault was carried out by the FBI and Tulsa Police Department, according to the United States Department of Justice.
