A Tulsa man was sentenced on April 14 in two separate federal cases for distributing drugs throughout the Northern District of Oklahoma, according to U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.
Tony Eugene Bahe, 38, received a sentence of 180 months in prison for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm while drug trafficking. He will also serve five years of supervised release. In a second case, Bahe was sentenced for drug conspiracy and ordered to concurrently serve 120 months in prison with an additional five years of supervised release.
Court documents state that in November 2024, Tulsa Police executed search warrants at two homes believed to be used by Bahe for drug distribution. During the search at his south Tulsa residence, officers found Bahe carrying a loaded firearm. The search uncovered eight grams of fentanyl, more than fifty grams of methamphetamine prepared for distribution, drug scales, and other paraphernalia associated with selling drugs.
At a second home in north Tulsa, police recovered over fifteen kilograms of methamphetamine along with ballistic body armor and digital scales. A K-9 alerted officers to drugs inside Bahe’s truck parked outside the property; further investigation led to the discovery of twenty-four additional kilograms of methamphetamine inside the vehicle.
Officers seized more than twenty-two guns from both properties during their searches. Court records indicate that Bahe has prior felony convictions which prohibit him from possessing firearms or ammunition.
In his second indictment, Bahe admitted he conspired with others to distribute large quantities of methamphetamine throughout Tulsa by breaking down bulk amounts into smaller portions for individual sale. He is identified as a member of the Cherokee Nation and will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The investigation involved multiple agencies including the Tulsa Police Department, Drug Enforcement Administration Tulsa Resident Office, Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Marshal Service, and Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tyson McCoy prosecuted the case.
