Carl Ramon Brown II, Illegal Possession of Ammunition, Oklahoma 2021

OKLAHOMA CITY - In a move aimed at cracking down on gun violence and domestic abuse, a local man has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for illegal possession of ammunition after previous felony convictions.

Carl Ramon Brown II, 46, of Oklahoma City, was handed down the sentence by U.S. District Judge Bernard M. Jones on August 16, 2021, after pleading guilty to a one-count indictment for illegal possession of ammunition.

According to public records, on February 22, 2020, Oklahoma City Police officers responded to a priority domestic call involving Brown, where he was found in possession of a firearm and threatened to shoot his girlfriend in the presence of her mother and minor children. The officers located nine rounds of ammunition on his person, leading to Brown's arrest.

Brown had been convicted of multiple felonies in Oklahoma County, including armed robbery, assault and battery on a police officer, and carrying a firearm during parole. As a result, federal law prohibits him from possessing a firearm or ammunition.

The case is part of 'Operation 922,' the Western District of Oklahoma's local implementation of the national Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative to reduce gun violence and enforce federal firearms laws. 'Operation 922' prioritizes the prosecution of federal gun crimes connected to domestic violence.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary E. Walters prosecuted the case, which is the result of investigations by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Oklahoma City Police Department.

Brown was sentenced to serve 72 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. The sentence reflects the nature of the crime and Brown's previous criminal history.
