For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Western District of Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA CITY – JULIAN PAUL GLAZIER, 26, of Canadian County, has been sentenced to serve 120 months in federal prison for illegal possession of firearms after previous felony convictions, announced U.S Attorney Robert J. Troester. 

On February 20, 2024, a federal Grand Jury returned a two-count Indictment against Glazier, charging him with being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition. According to public record, on December 24, 2023, Yukon Police Department (YPD) officers responded to a home to assist firefighters and paramedics who were reportedly assisting a pregnant woman experiencing a reported medical episode. Officers arrived and learned that the emergency call had been placed to draw them to the residence. Officers discovered that a woman at the residence was a victim of domestic violence, and that Glazier had detained her there at gunpoint in a bedroom for hours. When first responders arrived, Glazier attempted to hide a shotgun and a revolver he possessed during the offense, but officers located and seized them.

On May 2, 2024, Glazier pleaded guilty to Count 1 of the Indictment and admitted that he possessed firearms despite his previous felony convictions.

At the sentencing hearing on May 29, 2025, U.S. District Judge Charles B. Goodwin sentenced Glazier to serve 120 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release. In announcing the sentence, Judge Goodwin noted the nature of the offense and Glazier’s significant criminal history. Public record shows that he has a criminal history with previous felony convictions that include:

  • unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance in Canadian County District Court case number CF-2017-496;
  • unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in Oklahoma County District Court case number CF-2017-5508; and
  • possession of a firearm after juvenile adjudication in Oklahoma County District Court case number CF-2017-7568.

This case is the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Yukon Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle M. Connolly prosecuted the case. 

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a Department of Justice program to reduce violent crime. This case is also part of “Operation 922,” the Western District of Oklahoma’s implementation of PSN, which prioritizes prosecution of federal crimes connected to domestic violence.
