The U.S. Attorney’s office in Muskogee announced Friday that
Clinton James Jones, 34, of Sallisaw, entered a guilty plea to being a felon in
possession of a firearm and ammunition. Punishment includes 10 years in prison,
a fine of up to $250,000, or both. The charge resulted from an investigation by
the Sallisaw Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration. The
indictment alleges that on March 14 Jones, having been convicted of a crime
punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, possessed a gun and
ammunition. U.S. Judge Kimberly E. West accepted Jones’ guilty plea and ordered
a pre-sentence report. Sentencing will be scheduled following its completion.
The defendant remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshal Service pending
sentencing. Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Wilson represented the United States
in the case.
