Felon Sentenced for Possessing Loaded Firearm

TULSA, Okla. – A man previously convicted of armed robbery was sentenced today for possessing a loaded firearm, announced U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.

U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby sentenced Ramsey Nathaniel Hogan, 60, for being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition. Judge Shelby ordered Hogan to serve 60 months imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release.

Nine months after being released from federal prison, Hogan was arrested on an outstanding warrant. While he was being searched, United States Marshals found a loaded firearm in his waistband. Court records show that the arrest warrant was issued for failing to comply with the terms of his supervised release.

From 2001 through 2005, Hogan was convicted of four felonies involving a firearm. He pleaded guilty in 2005 to brandishing a firearm while robbing an auto parts store and a video store.

Hogan will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

The U.S. Marshal Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jessica Wright and Mike Flesher prosecuted the case.
