Henryettan sentenced in federal firearms case

A Henryetta man has been sentenced to federal prison following an investigation into illegal firearm possession, highlighting one of several recent cases announced by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma involving serious federal offenses across the region.

Joshua Devn Page, 30, of Henryetta, was sentenced to 15 months in prison after pleading guilty to one count of Felon in Possession of a Firearm. According to federal authorities, Page attempted to use two firearms as collateral while seeking a personal loan at an Okmulgee pawn shop on Dec. 18, 2024. At the time, Page had previously been convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year in prison, making his possession of firearms illegal under federal law.

The investigation into Page’s case involved the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Henryetta Police Department, and the Muscogee Nation Lighthorse Tribal Police Department. Page entered his guilty plea on June 5, 2025. Chief U.S. District Judge Ronald A. White presided over the sentencing hearing, and Page will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending transfer to a federal facility to serve a non-paroleable sentence.

In a separate case, a Muskogee resident was sentenced to more than two years in federal prison for illegally possessing ammunition. DaQurius Razjoune Johnson, also known as Daquarius Razjoune Johnson, age 33, received a 29-month sentence after pleading guilty to one count of Felon in Possession of Ammunition.

Federal officials reported that on July 24, 2024, law enforcement officers were dispatched to a Muskogee County residence, where Johnson was found in possession of 35 rounds of ammunition. Like Page, Johnson had previously been convicted of a felony offense punishable by more than one year of imprisonment, making possession of ammunition illegal. The investigation was conducted by the Muscogee Nation Lighthorse Tribal Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Johnson pleaded guilty on June 5, 2025, and was sentenced by Judge Ronald A. White to a non-paroleable term in federal prison.

A third case announced this week involved a violent offense that nearly resulted in significant property damage and potential loss of life. Johnny Lee Vann, 48, of Muskogee, was sentenced to 83 months in prison for Attempted Arson in Indian Country.

According to investigators, the incident occurred on Jan. 4, 2025, when Vann placed a hay bale beneath a neighbor’s trailer and set it on fire. One of the residents smelled smoke, confronted Vann, and was able to remove and extinguish the burning bale before the fire spread. The crime took place within the boundaries of the Muscogee Nation Reservation in Muskogee County, placing it under federal jurisdiction.

Vann pleaded guilty on July 1, 2025. The investigation was conducted by the Muskogee County Sheriff ’s Office and the ATF. Judge Ronald A. White also presided over this case, ordering Vann to serve a non-paroleable sentence in the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons.

All three cases were prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma and underscore ongoing federal enforcement efforts related to firearms, ammunition, and violent crimes within the district.
