Shelby County Couple Guilty of Federal Firearms Violations

LUFKIN — A Tenaha, Texas couple has pleaded guilty to federal firearms violations. Roderrette Dewrayne McClure, 39, pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. His wife, Jeannie Lynn McClure, 32, pleaded guilty to providing a firearm to a convicted felon. The McClures entered their guilty pleas yesterday in Lufkin in front of U.S. District Judge Ron Clark. The McClures each face up to 10 years in federal prison. A sentencing date has not been set.

According to federal prosecutors, last August, the FBI and ATF executed a search warrant at the McClure’s home. Several firearms were seized during the search. Roderrette McClure has a prior felony conviction for attempted sexual assault in Harris County in 2000. As a convicted felon, he is prohibited by federal law from owning or possessing firearms or ammunition.
