A Gore man was sentenced to federal prison Wednesday for a firearms violation, according to a media release from Sheldon J. Sperling, United States Attorney
Jerry Dewayne Spears, also known as Turkey, was sentenced to 37 months in prison to be followed by 36 months of supervised release for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Spears, 60, was indicted in July 2008 and pled guilty in March 2009.
“On April 8, 2006, during a traffic stop by Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Clint Craft, Spears was found to be in possession of a .44-caliber pistol, a .17-caliber HMR rifle and a Marlin .22-magnum bolt action rifle. Spears, having previously been convicted of state and federal felonies, is prohibited from possessing firearms,” Sperling said.
