ANADARKO — A Caddo County man is on the run and wanted for cutting his electronic monitoring ankle bracelet to escape Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) custody.
The Caddo County District Court issued a felony arrest warrant Wednesday for Preston Tyler Lange, 35, of Gracemont, for a count of escaping the ODOC, records indicate. The crime is punishable by between two to seven years in prison.
Lange was sentenced in Caddo County in September 2021 to serve 10 years with three years suspended for a count of convicted felon in possession of firearms and another count of eluding/attempting to elude police; as well as in Grady County for possession of a firearm after former felony conviction and possession of a controlled dangerous substance, the warrant affidavit states. He was released from prison in August 2022 and was on parole with the ankle monitor when a strap violation happened at 8:37 p.m. on Dec. 12, 2023, ODOC Probation and Parole Officer Joshua Reed stated.
Attempts were made to locate Lange and investigators spoke with his mother. She was crying and said he’d cut the bracelet off and left on foot, the affidavit states. Reed went to the mother’s house and she gave the GPS unit and a note written by her son.
According to the affidavit, the note from Lange reads: “I love you & sorry, momma. Tell P.O. I can’t take orders from this corrupt system!!!”
