Executive Summary
Between April 30, 2021 and August 23, 2021, Kevin James Lohr was charged in El Paso County with 23 total counts, including multiple high-level drug felonies, a Special Offender enhancement for possession of a firearm during a drug offense, and Possession of a Weapon by a Previous Offender (F6) while already a twice-convicted felon. On January 13, 2022, Mr. Lohr pled guilty to a single lesser count — DF2 possession with intent (7–112g) — and received only a 4-year Department of Corrections sentence, despite having already served over 8 years in prison on prior felony convictions. He was granted parole after serving less than 2 years. First-hand accounts from within CDOC state that Lohr spent most of his time in protective custody after other inmates learned he was a confidential informant, and that prior to his arrest he had allegedly provided information leading to the arrests of two close associates in exchange for a reduced sentence.
