Oklahoma City Man Sentenced to Serve 15 Years in Federal Prison after Illegally Possessing Firearm & Shooting at Police Officer

MICHAEL ANTHONY WILSON, II, of Oklahoma City, was sentenced to serve 180 months in federal prison for illegal possession of a firearm following a previous felony conviction, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.

On November 20, 2023, a federal grand jury charged Wilson with being a felon in possession of a firearm. According to public record, in October 2023, as an Oklahoma City police officer completed an unrelated report, his patrol unit was struck by gunfire. The officer was inside the car at the time of the shooting and suffered minor injuries. Public record further reflects that Wilson fired a total of six shots. After speaking with witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage, officers located and arrested Wilson.

Public record further reflects that Wilson has previous felony convictions for kidnapping and domestic assault and battery in Oklahoma County District Court case number CF-2018-21, and second-degree burglary and unauthorized use of a vehicle in Canadian County District Court case number CF-2015-153.

On February 7, 2024, Wilson pleaded guilty, and admitted he possessed the firearm despite his prior criminal record.

This case is the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Oklahoma City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jacquelyn M. Hutzell and Drew E. Davis prosecuted the case.
