Dyer now facing federal weapon charge

An arrest on charges of rape of a child and forcible sodomy has led to a complaint being filed in United States District Court.

Charles Alan Dyer, 29, of Marlow, was arrested for the alleged rape and forcible sodomy of a child. During the investigation into the allegations, the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office obtained a warrant to collect DNA evidence. During the search the sheriff’s deputies noted several firearms and a device believed to be a Colt M-203, 40-millimeter grenade launcher, a complaint filed in the United States District Court of Western Oklahoma by Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco Special Agent Brett Williams said.

On Wednesday, knowing that Dyer, an ex-Marine, had alleged contacts with militia groups and not knowing the legality of the alleged device, the Stephens County Sheriff's Office contacted federal agents and informed them of what the deputies had observed.

Dyer’s affiliation with militia groups is apparent through the videos posted on his YouTube channel — July4Patriot.

Deputies searched the residence with consent from another person who lived at 5819 Hope Road near Clear Creek Lake and seized the grenade launcher.

Deputies searched the National Crime Information Center database, according to the complaint, and found that the grenade launcher was one stolen from Fort Irwin, Calif., in 2006. The NCIC also indicated that there were two other grenade launchers stolen from Fort Irwin as they were being transported to Iraq.

Williams affirmed in the complaint that through his extensive training that he identified the grenade launcher as a destructive device as defined in Title 26 of the United States Code, section 5845(f).

The complaint noted that the grenade launcher was not commonly available to civilians unless they possess a Federal Firearms License.

Assistant District Attorney, Josh Creekmore said that Dyer is now in federal custody.

“Federal crimes take precedent over state crimes,” Creekmore noted.

Violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section 5871, referring to Section 5861(d), carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and/or a $10,000 fine.

Stephens County Sheriff Wayne McKinney said that the investigation went smoothly.

“I’m extremely happy with the cooperation between the sheriff’s office and the federal agents,” McKinney said.

Sorry, not buying it.

DUNCAN, Okla.—The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives filed a complaint against an ex-Marine after a grenade launcher was discovered at his residence in Marlow.

ATF Agent Brett Williams wrote in an affidavit that deputies found a Colt M-203, 40-millimeter grenade launcher Tuesday while they were arresting Charles Dyer on child rape and forcible sodomy charges.

The affidavit says authorities determined the item was one of three grenade launchers that were stolen from Fort Irwin, Calif., in 2006 as they were being shipped to Iraq.

Williams says Dyer told an FBI agent a friend gave him the device while Dyer was stationed in California with the Marine Corps.

A Stephens County jailer says Dyer was transferred to federal custody on Friday, and it wasn't known if he had an attorney.

Nope, not sitting right.

Ft. Irwin is an Army post, and I'm not aware of any Marines stationed there, or training there. How does an M203 stolen from an Army post end up in possession of a Marine?

Yes that is exactly how it is done, there is a $200 tax stamp per FFL Class II weapon that must be had and registration requirements to get the stamp, and note the registry has been closed since 1968.

Doesnt a search warrant have to specifically name the item or items they are searching for? Isnt a search limited to just those items?


Does evidence like grenade launchers become admissible in court if theyre searching your house on the premise of child porn and such??
