Local Man Charged with Felon in Possession of Firearm
MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – In a shocking turn of events, Nickey Lynn Anderson, a 35-year-old resident of Idabel, Oklahoma, has pleaded guilty to Felon in Possession of Firearm and Ammunition, a serious federal offense.
According to sources close to the investigation, Anderson, who was convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, knowingly possessed a firearm and ammunition in and affecting commerce. The charges stem from an investigation by the Idabel Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The indictment alleges that on or about August 5, 2017, Anderson possessed a Jimenez, Model JA-25, .25 automatic caliber pistol, serial number 059829, and six rounds of G.F.L. (.25 automatic caliber ammunition. The firearm and ammunition had been shipped and transported in interstate commerce.
Anderson’s guilty plea comes after Assistant United States Attorney John David Luton represented the United States in the case. The Honorable Kimberly E. West, U.S. Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, accepted the plea and ordered the completion of a presentence investigation report.
The charges against Anderson carry a maximum penalty of not more than 10 years imprisonment, up to a $250,000.00 fine, or both. However, if the court deems the defendant to be an Armed Career Criminal, the offense is punishable by not less than 15 years imprisonment.
The case is a stark reminder of the serious consequences of violating federal firearms laws. As the investigation continues, it is clear that Anderson’s actions have put him in a precarious position with the law.
