Couple Due back in Coffee County to face questions about the Homicide in Lakewood Park

January 7, 2020

On December 30, 2019, a man was killed at his Lakewood Park home in Coffee County and his vehicle was stolen. You might remember our report that two Coffee Countians were arrested at an Oklahoma motel when the victim, 68 year-old Johnny Tesar’s SUV was located there. Tyler Carter age 20 and Sasha Payton age 33 were arrested for car theft. They are facing that charge along with possible other charges over the death of Tesar.
It is expected that Carter and Payton will arrive back in Coffee County on Wednesday and they are being transported back here to questions concerning the homicide.
