MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma has announced that Maxie Darryl Caston, 58, from Hugo, Oklahoma, received a sentence of 12 months and one day in prison. This will be followed by a three-year term of supervised release for one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
The charge stemmed from an investigation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. On March 14, 2025, Caston pleaded guilty to the charge. Investigators reported that on September 6, 2024, law enforcement officers executing a search warrant at Caston’s residence in Hugo seized several firearms including a revolver, a shotgun, four rifles, and multiple rounds of ammunition. At that time, Caston had at least one prior felony conviction which prohibited him from legally possessing firearms or ammunition.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), an initiative aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence through collaboration between all levels of law enforcement and communities. On May 26, 2021, the department launched a strategy to strengthen PSN with core principles focused on fostering trust within communities, supporting organizations that prevent violence before it occurs, setting strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring outcomes.
The hearing was presided over by Chief U.S. District Judge Ronald A. White in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. Caston will remain under the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service until he is transported to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to serve his non-paroleable sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lewis M. Reagan represented the United States in this case.
