“The Justice Department is reducing violent crime here in Tulsa and all across America. We’re doing that through our partnerships with local and federal law enforcement. Armed robber Trentin Richardson made a bad decision when he robbed a local store and discharged a gun in the process. Patrons feared for their lives.
