Felon in Possession of Firearm Lands Checotah Resident Behind Bars
MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – Douglas Ray Lollis, Jr., a 33-year-old Checotah resident, is heading to prison for 40 months after being convicted of illegally possessing a firearm.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced the sentencing, which stems from an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
On March 4, 2025, a federal jury found Lollis guilty of one count of felon in possession of a firearm. The charge arose from an investigation into a December 22, 2022, incident in which Lollis pawned a 9x19mm pistol he possessed illegally.
At the time of the pawn transaction, Lollis was prohibited from owning firearms due to a previous conviction for a crime punishable by more than one year of imprisonment.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence through collaboration between law enforcement and local communities.
The Honorable Ronald A. White, Chief U.S. District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, presided over the hearing. Lollis will self-report to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility on August 4, 2025, to serve a non-paroleable sentence of incarceration.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jonathan E. Soverly, Patrick M. Flanigan, and Edith Singer represented the United States in the case.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma emphasizes the importance of community involvement in reducing violent crime and gun violence. By working together, we can make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
