In OCCA case No. F-2017-1245, Jeffery Arch Jones appealed his conviction for five counts of Sexual Abuse-Child Under 12. In an unpublished decision, the court decided that the State of Oklahoma did not have jurisdiction to prosecute him because he is a member of the Cherokee Nation, and the crimes occurred within the boundaries of the Creek Reservation. The conviction and sentence were reversed, and the case was remanded with instructions to dismiss. One judge dissented.

Judge Drummond merged the two counts into one, sentencing him to fifteen years in prison with credit for time served.
