The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma has announced that Andrew J. Craig, 35, of Gore, was sentenced to 60 months of probation for possessing a firearm after a domestic violence conviction.
The charges arose from investigations by the Muskogee Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
On March 10, 2023, Craig pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm after conviction of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.
According to court documents, on June 7, 2022, Muskogee police officers responded to a report of a disturbance at an area residence. During the investigation, officers discovered Craig in possession of a loaded .22 semi-automatic handgun.
In 2018, Craig pleaded guilty and was sentenced by an Oklahoma district court on one count of misdemeanor domestic violence.
The Honorable Ronald A. White, Chief Judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, presided over the hearings, while Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin D. Traster represented the United States.
