MUSKOGEE – Cody Ray McFadden, 36, of McAlester, was sentenced to 132 months in prison for one count of Maiming in Indian Country, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

The charge arose from an investigation by the Pittsburg County Sheriff ’s Office, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

On December 16, 2024, McFadden pleaded guilty to the charge.

According to investigators, on July 16, 2022, McFadden invited a visitor to his residence. Once inside, Mc-Fadden beat the victim, forced the victim into a cage, and padlocked the door. During the next 36 hours, McFadden proceeded to assault and torture the victim, threatening to kill the victim with a cross bow and intentionally striking at the victim with an axe.

The victim, who sustained a head laceration, burns, bruises, and a broken arm, managed to break free, escape through a window, and run to a neighbor’s home. Law enforcement responding to the neighbor’s emergency call took McFadden into custody after a brief standoff.

The crime occurred in Pittsburg County, within the boundaries of the Choctaw Nation Reservation, in the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

“This defendant demonstrated a complete lack of humanity, subjecting the victim to an extended period of violence resulting in unimaginable physical and mental trauma,” said FBI Oklahoma City Special Agent in Charge Doug Goodwater. “The FBI and our law enforcement partners are committed to rooting out violent offenders through aggressive investigations and prosecutions.”

“This is the stuff of nightmares, but unfortunately, it was sickeningly real,” said United States Attorney Christopher J. Wilson. “I commend the bravery of this survivor, the quick work of law enforcement in securing an end to this horrifying ordeal, and the steadfastness of investigators and prosecutors who ensured that McFadden spends the next decade in prison answering for his ruthless crimes.”

The Honorable Ronald A. White, Chief U.S. District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, presided over the hearing. McFadden will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending transportation to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to serve a non-paroleable sentence of incarceration.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua Satter represented the United States.
