Oklahoma City Man Sentenced to Serve More Than Four Years in Federal Prison for Illegal Ammunition Possession after Attacking Woman at Club and Her Home

OKLAHOMA CITY – ALEX DAVON HARDIMON, 32, of Oklahoma City, has been sentenced to serve 51 months in federal prison for illegal possession of ammunition after a previous felony conviction, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.

According to public record, on July 22, 2024, officers with the Oklahoma City Police Department (OCPD) responded to a 911 call on a reported shooting in Oklahoma City. OCPD officers spoke with a victim, who claimed he was driving down Southwest 32nd Street when a man shot at his vehicle with rifle, and officers determined the description of the suspect matched Hardimon. Soon after, OCPD received a second call that an assault victim was in the emergency room of a nearby hospital. Officers spoke with the victim, who claimed Hardimon attacked her at a club the night before. The victim said after she went home from the club, she awoke to find Hardimon standing over her with a rifle, and claimed Hardimon struck her face and head several times with a closed fist before she was able to escape to the hospital with her child. OCPD located Hardimon’s vehicle, initiated a traffic stop, and arrested him for assault and domestic violence charges. In his pocket, officers found two rounds of live ammunition. On August 20, 2024, a federal Grand Jury charged Hardimon with being a felon in possession of ammunition.

On November 19, 2024, Hardimon pleaded guilty to the Indictment and admitted he knowingly possessed two rounds of ammunition despite his previous felony convictions.

At the sentencing hearing on April 30, 2025, U.S. District Judge Patrick R. Wyrick sentenced Hardimon to serve 51 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. In announcing his sentence, Judge Wyrick noted Hardimon’s extensive record, and observed that the defendant clearly had not learned his lesson through his experiences in the state criminal justice system.  Public record reflects that Hardimon has previous felony convictions that include joyriding, speeding, and driving under suspension in Logan County District Court case number CF-2011-172, and first-degree robbery and leaving the scene of an accident with property damage in Oklahoma County District Court case number CF-2012-653.

This case is the result of an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations and OCPD. Assistant U.S. Attorney David Nichols, Jr. prosecuted the case.

This case is part of “Operation 922” and Operation “Shots Fired,” the Western District of Oklahoma’s implementation of Project Safe Neighborhoods, the Department of Justice’s signature initiative to reduce gun violence and enforce federal firearms laws. “Operation 922” prioritizes prosecution of federal firearms violations connected to domestic violence. “Shots Fired” targets cases involving individuals who discharge firearms as part of their criminal activity, such as drive-by shootings or when shots are fired during robberies, domestic disputes, or other incidents.
