A Wagoner resident has admitted in federal court to charges concerning methamphetamine possession with the intent to distribute, as well as possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. Christopher Kent Leondis Honeycutt, 44, entered a guilty plea to both counts on charges stemming from an incident that occurred earlier this year on January 24.
According to the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, Honeycutt was caught with over 50 grams of a substance containing methamphetamine, and on the same day, possessed a semi-automatic pistol and 56 rounds of ammunition, despite having a prior conviction that prohibits him from owning firearms.
The investigation was led by the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Office and Homeland Security Investigations, which resulted in Honeycutt's charges. The report claims, despite being previously convicted of a felony, Honeycutt was found in possession of the firearm and ammunition that had crossed state lines.
Magistrate Judge D. Edward Snow took Honeycutt's guilty plea and ordered a presentence investigation report to be completed. Pending the sentencing, Honeycutt will be held in custody of the United States Marshal Service, the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan E. Soverly is representing the government in this case. Honeycutt's sentencing date has yet to be scheduled.
