The Oklahoma Multi-County Grand Jury has returned indictments against two men accusing them of conspiracy, robbery, burglary and assault involving a Lincoln County grow house facility last July.
Formal charges were filed in Lincoln County District Court on Feb. 28, 2025 against Tauriawn Latrelle Knight, 25, of Edmond and Marquethz Latrale Lee, 27, of Midwest City.
Court records show that $500,000 bench warrants have been issued for the arrest of each.The records also show that an initial appearance for Knight has been set for 9 a.m. March 27, 2025.
Lincoln County Sheriff Kevin Garrett confirmed that Knight is in the Lincoln County Jail awaiting his court appearance. He said Lee is in a nearby county jail and will be brought to Lincoln County to appear in court as well.
Knight faces five felonies including conspiracy to commit first degree robbery, first degree robbery, first degree burglary, second degree burglary and assault while masked or in disguise.
Lee is charged with nine felonies, including conspiracy to commit first degree robbery, first degree robbery, two counts of first degree burglary, two counts of second degree burglary, assault while masked or in disguise, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and engaging in a pattern of criminal offenses.
According to the information brought by the grand jury, Knight, Lee and others traveled from Oklahoma County to Redbud Relief Farms LLC, 346162 E. 890 Road, Chandler during the early morning hours of July 26, 2024 for the purpose of perpetrating a robbery against the occupants at that location.
They brought firearms for the purpose of effecting the robbery by force or fear and wore masks to conceal identities.
The information states once they arrived, they unlawfully gained entry to the dwelling house at the Redbud Relief Farms property and to its marijuana grow buildings, assaulting the occupants and demanding their money.
While at the property, they assaulted around 10 people who were residing and/or working there.
They took and carried away from those people items of personal property belonging to them, including marijuana and/ or U.S. currency, and/ or credit cards and/or identification cards, a Ford F-150 pickup truck and in the course of the robbery threatened those individuals with bodily injury.
Knight, Lee and others eventually fled from the Farms in an effort to avoid apprehension.

Count 8 against Lee, second degree burglary, accuses him on Aug. 14, 2024 of breaking and entering commercial buildings and/or commercial structures located at ZMAT, LLC, and larceny of marijuana.
Count 9 charges Lee with engaging in a pattern of criminal offenses.
