Elk City, OK – Two Texas residents have been formally charged in connection with a 2023 car wash burglary in Elk City, with outstanding warrants now issued in Beckham County.
Jennifer McPherson, 46, of Stinnett, Texas, and Jeffrey Wyrick, 41, of Amarillo, Texas, face felony charges of second-degree burglary and conspiracy to commit a felony. The alleged crime took place on August 24, 2023, at a car wash on North Eastern Avenue.
