“The Honorable D. Edward Snow, U.S. Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, accepted the plea and ordered the completion of a presentence investigation report.”
A sentencing date has not yet been set. A U.S. District Court Judge will determine Johnson’s sentence after reviewing federal guidelines and other relevant factors.
