Jaylon Christopher Heneha, 26, Sentenced to 60 Months for Felon in Possession of a Firearm in Muskogee, OK

A Henryetta resident has been sentenced to 60 months in prison for a federal firearms offense.

According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, Jaylon Christopher Heneha, 26, was sentenced to 60 months in prison for one count of Felon in Possession of a Firearm.

The charges arose from investigations by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Lighthorse Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

On May 2, 2023, Heneha pleaded guilty to one count of Felon in Possession of a Firearm.  According to investigators, on January 22, 2023, officers with the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Lighthorse Police discovered Heneha in possession of a firearm during the course of another investigation.

At the time he possessed the gun, Heneha knew he had been previously convicted of a crime punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year.

The Honorable Keith Starrett, U.S. District Judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, sitting by assignment, presided over the hearings in Muskogee.  Heneha was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshal pending transportation to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to serve a non-paroleable sentence of incarceration.

Assistant United States Attorney Richard A. Lorenz represented the United States at sentencing.

The case was the result of an investigation by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Lighthorse Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
