Four men plead guilty to stash house robbery that led to police chase ending in flames
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Four men have pleaded guilty in federal court in a home robbery case from February that lead to a police chase ending in flames in northeast Oklahoma City.
According to the U.S. Western District Court of Oklahoma, William Daniels, 25; Brandon Norman, 26; Keldon Williams, 26; and Jordan Watson, 25, have all pleaded for their alleged role in an armed robbery at a metro area residence on February 8.
Court documents allege that the robbery victims were ordered onto the floor and had their hands restrained with zip-ties by Daniels, Watson, and Williams, who forced their way into the home.

Victims reportedly told police that one of the suspects, who was later identified as Daniels, had a gun on him at the time of the incident.
The court says the four men made off with over $36,000 in cash, more than 600 pound of black-market marijuana, and other items from the home.
Security camera footage from a nearby home reportedly showed four cars, including one stolen from the victims, leaving the stash house after the robbery. The stolen car was found in the parking lot of a nearby business, and two other suspect vehicles were pulled over by police.
Norman, Watson and Williams were arrested without incident, while Daniels led officers on a high-speed chase down I-235 in rush hour traffic. McIntyre Law Chopper 4 caught the chase on camera as Daniels wrecked the car and ran from police before being arrested.
Shortly after Daniels’ arrest, the heat from two patrol cars parked in a grassy area caught the field on fire.
Daniels, Norman, Watson and Williams all pleaded guilty to interference with commerce by robbery and possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute. Daniels also pleaded guilty to being a drug user in possession of a firearm.
Norman, Watson and Williams face up to 40 years in federal prison and fines totaling up to $1,250,000 each at sentencing. Daniels faces a possible sentence of up to 55 years in federal prison and fines totaling up to $1,500,000.
