The gritty streets of Vian, Oklahoma saw a tough penalty meted out today as CLENTON KENDALL MCCOY, 51, was sentenced to 46 months behind bars followed by three years of supervised release for being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm. The sentence, handed down by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, comes after a meticulous investigation led by the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Office.
MCCOY was indicted in August 2013 and pleaded guilty in September 2013 to possessing a Harrington and Richardson .20 gauge single shot shotgun with no serial number. The gun had been shipped and transported across state lines, making it a federal case. Today’s ruling sends a clear message that the justice system will not tolerate firearm possession by those with a criminal record.
The hearing was presided over by Honorable Ronald A. White of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma in Muskogee. MCCOY, now under the custody of the United States Marshal Service, awaits transportation to the designated federal prison where he will serve his nonparolable sentence.
Assistant United States Attorney Edward Snow represented the prosecution in this case, ensuring justice was served for the violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 922(g)(1). The sentence is a stark reminder of the serious consequences faced by those who flout federal firearm laws.
This latest development in Vian’s criminal landscape underscores the commitment of law enforcement and the judicial system to keep communities safe from dangerous individuals like MCCOY. As MCCOY begins his prison term, many in the community are breathing a sigh of relief that justice has been served.
