OKLAHOMA CITY – JEFFERY DEWAYNE MOSELEY, 32, of El Reno, Oklahoma, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Oklahoma City with theft of firearms from a federally licensed firearms dealer and with being a convicted felon in possession of firearms, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.

On April 6, 2022, a federal grand jury in the Western District of Oklahoma returned a two-count indictment against Moseley.  Count 1 charges Moseley with theft of nine firearms from a licensed firearms dealer in Yukon, Oklahoma, on February 20, 2022.  Count 2 charges Moseley with being a felon in possession of the same nine firearms in February 2022.  Federal law prohibits convicted felons from possessing firearms.

If convicted, Moseley faces up to ten years in prison and three years of supervised release on each Count.

The case is being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.  Assistant U.S. Attorney David Nichols, Jr. is prosecuting the case.

The public is reminded that these charges are merely allegations and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.  Reference is made to public records for more information.
