Two plead guilty in federal firearms case

staff

TAHLEQUAH — MUSKOGEE – Two Park Hill residents have pleaded guilty to federal charges of being felons in possession of firearms and ammunition.

Mark Alden Mongold, 41, and Claudia Marie Moore, 55,  were charged earlier this year following an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Violent Crime Task Force. Both were indicted on federal charges last April.

The two are accused of possessing firearms and ammunition after they’d been previously convicted of a crime. Magistrate Judge Kimberly E. West accepted guilty pleas from Mongold and Moore and ordered completion of presentence reports, to be followed by sentencing.

According to U.S. Attorney Mark F. Green’s office, the statutory range of punishment is not more than 10 years in prison and/or a fine up to $250,000.

Poll

What do you think of Sen. McCain's proposal to allow cable TV channels to be sold a la carte (individually, rather than in bundles with a lot of channels no one wants)? Bear in mind some less popular channels could go by the wayside with no bundling support, and that while overall packages should theoretically decrease in cost, individual channels might cost more.

Strongly in favor of a la carte.
Somewhat in favor of a la carte.
Somewhat opposed to a la carte.
Strongly opposed to a la carte.
