One of two defendants charged in a 2010 Pottawatomie County double homicide has pleaded guilty to two lesser counts of accessory to murder and been sentenced.
Amanda Rose Creekmore, 29, McLoud, was originally charged with two counts of first-degree murder. She and her boyfriend, Jason Eric Jackson, 30, were both charged in the case involving the Aug. 21, 2010 deaths of Oklahoma City residents Van Clyde Reynolds and Angel Pierce.
Creekmore’s guilty plea was to the amended counts of accessory to murder. District Judge John Canavan sentenced her to serve 40 years in each count, with 20 years in each count to be served in prison with the Department of Corrections and 20 years on DOC probation. The prison term sentences run concurrently.
Creekmore is jailed at the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center, where she is awaiting transfer to a state penitentiary.
Jackson’s case on the two murder counts, which was previously stayed for competency, is set for a court hearing on Feb. 29.
Jackson and Creekmore were taken into custody following a manhunt in 2010. Pottawatomie County sheriff’s deputies were called to the area of Pottawatomie County Line Road near Lake Road, which also is 134th Street, to check a suspicious pickup left in the rural driveway, with two bodies found in the pickup bed.
A manhunt commenced most of the day as authorities sealed off a two-square-mile area with roadblocks and searched the area with scent-tracking dogs.
A woman later approached a deputy and said she thought they were looking for her son; Jackson and Creekmore were later taken into custody without incident.
Deputies said they believed the victims were killed in the driveway of Jackson’s mother’s home, where Jackson and Creekmore also resided.
A preliminary investigation indicated Reynolds and Pierce suffered gunshots wounds to the head. Pierce also was beaten and stabbed. Investigators believe Reynolds and Pierce came to this area so Jackson and Creekmore could purchase drugs from Pierce, which they had allegedly done in the past.
The suspects apparently didn’t know Reynolds, so deputies weren’t sure why he was with Pierce, other than he gave her a ride from a location in Oklahoma City, where her vehicle was found.
