Bethany Man, 20, Sentenced to 30 Months: About Five Pounds of Marijuana and Five Firearms Found
Rolando Felipe Diaz Aguilar, 20, of Bethany, Oklahoma, has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for being a drug user in possession of firearms and for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Oklahoma said U.S. District Judge Jodi W. Dishman imposed the sentence at a hearing on November 12, 2026, followed by three years of supervised release, in an announcement by U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.
According to public records, in January 2025 officers with the Bethany Police Department received information that Diaz Aguilar was selling firearms, marijuana, PCP and fentanyl from his residence in Bethany. After officers observed him meet another individual in a nearby park to engage in a drug transaction, he was stopped for a traffic violation and found to have brought two firearms along to the drug deal, kept close at hand within the vehicle.
Officers subsequently executed a search warrant at his residence, where they discovered approximately five pounds of marijuana, approximately 500 THC vape cartridges and materials used in drug distribution, as well as three more firearms, including a multi-caliber pistol capable of accepting a large-capacity magazine. Further investigation revealed evidence of additional firearm and drug trafficking activity.
On December 3, 2025, Diaz Aguilar was charged by information with two counts of being a drug user in possession of firearms and one count of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. He pleaded guilty to all counts on February 5, 2026, admitting that he knowingly possessed firearms while an unlawful user of marijuana and that he knowingly and intentionally possessed marijuana that he intended to distribute. In announcing the sentence, Judge Dishman noted the need to protect the public and to deter similar criminal conduct.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Bethany Police Department, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle M. Connolly. The Justice Department said the case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods and Operation Take Back America. (Source: U.S. Attorney's Office, Western District of Oklahoma)
