Illegal Possession of Ammunition Following Reported Assault Lands Oklahoma City Man in Federal Prison for Three Years

OKLAHOMA CITY – FRANCISCO JERARD HOUSE, SR., a/k/a Cisco, 45, of Oklahoma City, has been sentenced to serve 36 months in federal prison for illegal possession of ammunition following a previous felony conviction, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester. 

On September 17, 2024, a federal Grand Jury returned a two-count Superseding Indictment against House, charging him with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. According to public record, in March 2024, officers with the Oklahoma City Police Department (OCPD) received a report that House sexually assaulted a woman with a firearm present. On March 27, 2024, OCPD officers executed a search warrant at House’s address and recovered a firearm and several rounds of ammunition. 

On November 21, 2024, House pleaded guilty and admitted he possessed ammunition despite his criminal record. 

At the sentencing hearing on February 27, 2025, U.S. District Judge Jodi W. Dishman sentenced House to serve 36 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release. In announcing her sentence, Judge Dishman cited the need to protect the public and promote respect for the law.  She also noted House’s previous criminal history, including charges of domestic violence, and allegations contained in the protective orders previously issued against him.  Public record reflects that House has a previous felony conviction in Oklahoma County District Court case number CF-2007-507 for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and larceny of a motor vehicle. 

This case is the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and OCPD. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary E. Walters prosecuted the case.
