How does a man facing two DF1 trafficking charges — the highest drug felonies in Colorado — walk out of court with four years? When others vanish for decades, what makes this case different?
The record reads like something out of fiction: 23 felony counts, including multiple DF1 drug felonies. Add a Possession of a weapon by previous offender charge (another DF1 charge). Normally that means decades.
Yet on January 13, 2022, Lohr — a man with two prior DOC terms — pled to a single DF2. Twenty-two felonies vanished. He was paroled in under two years.
Prosecutors don’t vaporize DF1 trafficking charges for repeat offenders without a reason. Deals like this don’t happen without cooperation.
Between April 30, 2021 and August 23, 2021, Lohr faced three separate filings totaling 23 original charges. By early 2022, every high-level count was dismissed, and he took a DF2 plea for 4 years DOC.
8–32 years DOC
4–8 years DOC (8–16 aggravated)
