Quapaw man sentenced to prison for raping teen
TULSA, Okla. — A previously registered Kansas sex offender is going back to prison for sexually abusing a Quapaw teen. Dylan Boyd, 28, was sentenced to 136 months, or just over 11 years. He pleaded guilty in February to abusive sexual contact with a minor in Indian Country and the commission of a felony sex offense involving a minor by a registered sex offender. Boyd is required to serve 16 months for the abusive sexual contact and 120 months for the sexual offense while registered as a sex offender. Boyd was also recommended to be placed at Seagoville, Texas's Bureau of Prisons' facility. He was also required to participate in the Bureau of Prisons' Residential Drug Abuse Program, mental health, and sex offender treatment programs. A Miami Tribe of Oklahoma citizen, Boyd, had prior convictions for aggravated indecent liberties with a minor and violation of the Kansas Offender Registration Act, when he sexually assaulted a teen younger than 16 years old in November 2020 in her Quapaw home. Boyd was in Kansas state custody at the time of his federal indictment for a prior conviction for failing to register as a sex offender for acts he committed in 2011 at the age of 15. Federal prosecutors dropped charges of sexual abuse by force and threat, sexual abuse of a minor, both in Indian Country, in exchange for the guilty plea. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Neo Performance Materials exits separation facilities in China
May 22 (Reuters) - Neo Performance Materials ( opens new tab said on Thursday it has exited its China separation facilities, as the Canadian rare earths company aims to reduce geopolitical risk and price volatility while expanding in Europe and North America. The exit concludes a strategic review it launched last year. The company said it sold its majority stakes in two Chinese separation facilities, the value of which was not disclosed. China controls the vast majority of global rare earth processing, making the sector highly vulnerable to supply disruptions and price swings tied to trade tensions or domestic policy shifts. The rare earths company also divested its gallium trichloride business in Quapaw and closed the hydrometallurgy portion of its Niobium and Tantalum business. "The company is scaling its European magnet operations and evaluating additional supporting capabilities, such as heavy rare earth separations," Neo said in a statement. Neo expects its permanent magnet facility in Europe to be completed on time and on budget, and start commercial production in 2026.

Oklahoma man sentenced for shooting; says he was defending his cousin
TULSA, Okla. — A Quapaw man was sentenced in federal court today on a weapons charge. Charles William Pebeahsy, III. 53, was sentenced on Wednesday to 72 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release. Pebeahsy confessed in April 2024 to firing several shots from a semi-automatic rifle toward Colin Beattie on May 31, 2023, according to his plea agreement. Federal prosecutors dropped the remaining charges of assault with intent to commit murder and carrying, using, brandishing, and discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence – both in Indian Country. According to court documents filed by Pebeahsy's attorney, the victim, Beattie, has a significant criminal history and acted consistent with that history. During an evening with friends, Pebeahsy became highly intoxicated to the point of blacking out. At some point, Beattie physically assaulted Pebeahsy because he tried to stop Beattie from beating up his female cousin. Pebeahsy attempted to shoot Beattie, and when Pebeahsy ran outside, he heard a voice in the distance say something and fired several rounds in the air toward the male voice, which belonged to a neighbor. Prosecutors asserted the neighbor's residence had been struck by a bullet fired by Pebeahsy because of a hole found near the roof of the residence, but there is no evidence to support thisassertion, as no projectile was ever found, the motion states. Pebeahsy was overhead to shout, 'I'm coming for you, Colin.' A bloody and intoxicated Pebeahsy was arrested shortly after the incident and later told officers the fight started because Beattie had beaten up his cousin. Beattie was also taken into custody on several outstanding 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
