MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – Robey Lee Butler, 36, of Stilwell, has been hit with a three-year probation sentence for his brazen move to possess a stolen semi-automatic rifle. This grim revelation comes from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
The charge against Butler stems from an intense investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Sallisaw Police Department, and the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Office. On January 13, 2025, Butler pleaded guilty to the serious charge.
Butler’s crime spree hit a snag on November 7, 2023, when law enforcement officials discovered him in possession of a semi-automatic rifle. The weapon was later confirmed to have been stolen from McCurtain, Oklahoma, in LeFlore County, a chilling reminder of the dark underbelly of gun thefts.
The trial was presided over by the Honorable Ronald A. White, Chief U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jarrod A. Leaman and Lewis M. Reagan represented the United States in this case.
Butler’s sentence is a stark reminder of the consequences faced by those who play with stolen weapons on the streets of Stilwell and beyond. The community hopes that Butler’s probation will serve as a deterrent to others contemplating similar acts of violence and theft.
This gritty story brings to light the ongoing battle against gun crime in Oklahoma, as law enforcement agencies continue their relentless pursuit of justice.
