Felony Firearm Possession Lands Choctaw Man Behind Bars
A Choctaw man has been sentenced to two years in prison for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, announced U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Davis.
Otis McGee, 28, of Choctaw, Mississippi, received the sentence from U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate, Jr. McGee will also serve three years of supervised release following his prison term.
The crime occurred on the tribal lands of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. McGee pled guilty to the charge on January 29, 2015.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians Police Department.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Lemon prosecuted the case. According to court documents, McGee was previously convicted of a felony, which prohibited him from possessing a firearm.
McGee’s sentencing serves as a reminder of the consequences of breaking federal laws, especially those related to firearms. The U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work with law enforcement agencies to ensure that those who commit such crimes are held accountable.
McGee’s case is a prime example of the importance of interagency cooperation in combating crime. The collaboration between the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians Police Department helped bring McGee to justice.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work tirelessly to protect the citizens of Mississippi and uphold the rule of law.
