OKLAHOMA CITY — A 32-year-old man from Oklahoma City has been sentenced to more than four years in federal prison for illegally possessing ammunition after a prior felony conviction, U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester announced.
Alex Davon Hardimon was sentenced on April 30 to serve 51 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. U.S. District Judge Patrick R. Wyrick imposed the sentence, citing Hardimon’s extensive criminal history and stating that the defendant “clearly had not learned his lesson through his experiences in the state criminal justice system.”
According to public records, on July 22, 2024, Oklahoma City police responded to a 911 call reporting a shooting near Southwest 32nd Street. Officers spoke with a victim who claimed a man had fired a rifle at his vehicle. Police believe the suspect matched Hardimon’s description.
Shortly afterward, officers received a second report from a hospital emergency room, where a woman said she had been assaulted by Hardimon. The woman told officers she was attacked by Hardimon at a club the previous night. She claimed that after returning home, she awoke to find Hardimon standing over her with a rifle. She said Hardimon struck her in the face and head several times with a closed fist before she escaped to the hospital with her child.
Oklahoma City police located Hardimon’s vehicle, conducted a traffic stop, and arrested him on state charges of assault and domestic violence. During the arrest, officers found two rounds of live ammunition in his pocket.
A federal grand jury indicted Hardimon on Aug. 20, 2024, for being a felon in possession of ammunition. He pleaded guilty to the charge on Nov. 19, 2024, admitting that he knowingly possessed the ammunition despite his felony record.
Court records show that Hardimon has prior felony convictions, including joyriding, speeding, and driving under suspension in Logan County District Court case CF-2011-172. He also has convictions for first-degree robbery and leaving the scene of an accident with property damage in Oklahoma County District Court case CF-2012-653.
The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the Oklahoma City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney David Nichols Jr. prosecuted the case.
