Oklahoma beheading: Man accused of beheading woman in Moore served prison time in Oklahoma
Alton Nolen served time in Oklahoma prisons for drug and assault offenses.
The fired Moore food plant worker accused of a beheading served time in Oklahoma prisons on drug and assault offenses, records show.
Alton Alexander Nolen, 30, was convicted three times in felony cases that date back to 2006.
Nolen was incarcerated on March 10, 2011, and released two years years later — on March 22, 2013. He is still on probation.
In the most recent case, he pleaded guilty in January 2011 in Logan County District Court to assault and battery on a police officer, escape from detention, obstructing an officer and driving under suspension. He was sentenced to two years in prison and three years probation.
He was charged after he assaulted then fled an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper who was trying to arrest him during a traffic stop in October 2010, court records show.
The trooper, Betsy Randolph, reported she stopped him because the car had a paper tag that appeared to be fake. She found out he had warrants for his arrest and had put handcuffs on his right arm when he pushed her and ran away.
Randolph told The Oklahoman on Friday her hand was injured from holding on to the handcuffs.
Nolen fled into nearby woods. He was apprehended after a 12-hour manhunt involving four law enforcement agencies and two helicopters, records show.
Randolph said authorities were tracking Nolen’s cellphone and knew he was nearby.
They worked with Nolen’s then-girlfriend to capture him. Nolen texted his girlfriend and asked her to leave a window open.
“We had guys in the apartment waiting on him, and so when he opened the window to crawl, in we had guys on the inside and outside,” Randolph said.
Nolen slipped out of his shirt when officers inside the apartment tried to grab him, and he fled on foot before he was tackled by members of a tactical team. Randolph completed the arrest.
Nolen pleaded guilty in 2010 in Logan County District Court to marijuana possession. He was caught in September 2009 by Langston University police who were investigating a tip illegal drugs were being sold out of an apartment, court records show.
He at first was sentenced to 90 days in jail and five years probation for the marijuana offense. His probation was revoked after he assaulted the trooper. He was re-sentenced to two years in prison and four years probation.
Nolen pleaded guilty in 2006 in Oklahoma County District Court to possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. He initially was on probation.
Oklahoma City police arrested Nolen in July 2006 after an officer saw him throw a baggie of crack cocaine from a car window during a traffic stop. Nolen was a passenger in the car. Police also found cocaine and marijuana in the car.
Police recovered $287 from the driver’s pocket.
His probation for the cocaine offense was revoked in 2011 and he was sentenced to six years in prison.
He was allowed to serve his prison sentences for all three convictions at the same time.
In March 2011, Nolen was sent to the Davis Correctional Center in Holdenville where he stayed for seven months, said state Corrections Department spokesman Jerry Massie. He was then transferred to the Lexington Assessment and Reception Center in Lexington.
Nolen spent the final year of his sentence at Lawton and Oklahoma City community correction centers.
Massie said Nolen had no misconduct record during his time in the system.
