Gregory Lynn Shrader, Felon In Possession Of Machine Guns, Oklahoma 2015

TULSA, Oklahoma — A devastating verdict has been handed down in a two-day jury trial, as Gregory Lynn Shrader, 56, of Jay, Oklahoma, has been found guilty of being in possession of firearms and ammunition. United States Attorney Danny C. Williams Sr. announced the guilty verdict today.

On June 5, 2014, Shrader was charged by a grand jury with the offense of being a felon in possession of machine guns and ammunition. The charges stem from a search warrant executed at Shrader’s home on March 6, 2014, where law enforcement found three firearms, including a 12GA gauge shotgun, a .45 ACP rifle, and a 9mm rifle, both of which were machine guns.

The search warrant was carried out by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Tulsa Field office, with assistance from the United States Postal Inspection Service, Phoenix division, and Federal Bureau of Investigation, Tulsa office.

Assistant United States Attorneys Joel-lyn A. McCormick, Clemon Ashley, and Catherine Depew prosecuted the case against Shrader.

Shrader faces the statutory maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. In addition, he will have to forfeit the firearms and ammunition involved in the offense.

Sentencing has been set for August 13, 2015, before United States District Court Judge Claire V. Eagan.

The guilty verdict marks a significant victory in the fight against gun violence and crime in Oklahoma. The Grimy Times will continue to monitor the case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
