The Cotton County Sheriff’s Office announces the arrest of Micah Keith Woods, 44, of Temple, Oklahoma, on multiple felony and misdemeanor warrants stemming from an extensive investigation into burglary and property crimes in Cotton County.
On February 11, 2026, Woods was located and taken into custody in Burkburnett, Texas, with assistance from the Burkburnett Police Department. Woods was initially transported to the Wichita County Jail in Texas. After signing extradition paperwork, he was transported back to Oklahoma and booked into the Cotton County Jail.
This investigation began in early 2025 after the Cotton County Sheriff’s Office received repeated reports of burglaries and grand larcenies throughout Cotton County. The investigation proved challenging due to uncooperative witnesses and reluctant victims, but deputies continued to pursue leads over an extended period of time.
Through a lengthy investigation and coordination with Texas law enforcement partners, investigators were ultimately able to locate Woods and take him into custody.
Woods is currently facing the following charges:
•Burglary-Second Degree (4 counts), Felony
•Burglary-Third Degree, Felony
•Malicious Injury to Property (Under $1,000), Misdemeanor
•Tampering with Security Camera System, Felony
•Intimidation of Witness, Felony

•Possession of a Firearm After Former Conviction of Burglary, Felony
•Possession of Certain Tools After Former Conviction of Burglary, Felony

The Cotton County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Burkburnett Police Department and other Texas law enforcement partners for their assistance in locating and apprehending Woods.
