Two men pleaded guilty Thursday to committing federal crimes in April 2010 when another man was fatally shot by Tulsa County sheriff's deputies who were executing a search warrant at a local motorcycle clubhouse.
Albert Dee Ahlfinger, 50, admitted that despite his felony record, he possessed a pistol and shotgun on April 9, 2010.
On that day, law enforcement officers conducted a raid at a building in the 1800 block of North Kingston Place, during which Russell Doza was fatally shot by deputies. Deputies said Doza picked up a pistol and turned toward them.
The raid was conducted after an informant alleged that drugs were being sold at the building, which was then the "Rogues Outlaw Motorcycle Gxxg Clubhouse," according to an FBI affidavit.
In the building, firearms were "accessible to all subjects in the house," arrest reports state.
On Thursday, Ahlfinger told the court that he had access to a shotgun under the bar and a pistol in a bedroom where he had stayed.
Also Thursday, Scott Lee Sollars, 55, pleaded guilty to misprision of a felony. He stated in his plea agreement that on April 9, 2010, he knew that Ahlfinger was on probation for a "felony theft crime" and had access to a firearm. Sollars admitted that he did not report the situation to law enforcement officers.
A federal indictment states that Ahlfinger's record includes a 1996 conviction for possession of a controlled substance and a 2008 stolen-property conviction, both in Tulsa County. It says Sollars has convictions in Kentucky, Florida and Oklahoma for crimes such as burglary, auto theft, possession of a controlled drug and illegal gun possession.
U.S. District Judge Gregory Frizzell is scheduled to sentence both men - who are each free on bond - Sept. 15.
Ahlfinger's attorney Beverly Atteberry estimated that her client likely will face 24 months to 30 months in prison. Federal public defender Julia O'Connell, representing Sollars, said she believes that he is looking at a sentencing range of two months and eight months in custody, with probation possible.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joel-lyn McCormick did not wish to speculate on what the guidelines ranges might be for each man.
