Muskogee man pleads to gun charge

Brian Lee Stopp of Muskogee pleaded guilty Wednesday to being a felon in possession of firearms, said U.S. Attorney Sheldon Sperling.

Stopp, 40, was indicted in September 2009. During the execution of a federal search warrant on Stopp’s residence, agents located two semi-automatic pistols.

Sentencing will be scheduled following completion of a presentence report. Stopp faces up to 10 years in prison and/or up to $250,000 in fines, Sperling said.

A preliminary calculation of sentencing guidelines projects a sentence of 57-71 months imprisonment.
