2. Sentencing Summary (DF2 Plea Only)

Sentence: 4 years Department of Corrections
Credit: 83 days time served
Fines/Fees: Approx. $3,500+ including restitution, surcharges, and testing
No Habitual Offender Enhancement Applied

3. Analysis of Unusual Plea Agreement Dynamics

A. Dismissal of More Severe Charges

Two DF1s, a DF3, and a Special Offender enhancement were dropped
DF1 is typically prosecuted aggressively, especially with prior felons
Gun charge (F6) also dismissed despite being a major leverage point

B. Discrepancy in Charge Retention

Defendant pled guilty to a lower-level DF2, with a relatively lenient sentence
Sentencing well within the bottom of presumptive range (4–8 years)
No prison enhancement despite multiple dismissed felonies and prior record

C. Typical Plea Behavior Reversed

In most plea deals, defendants plead to higher charges to dispose of lesser ones
Here, the highest charges were dropped, and the defendant pled to a mid-level charge
This reversal is a hallmark of external cooperation incentives, not judicial economy

4. Strong Indicators of CI Cooperation

Pattern: Classic law enforcement pattern — multiple felony dismissals, 1 guilty plea
Value Exchange: Likely provided actionable intelligence or testimony on other cases
Suppression: No public mention of cooperation — typical in CI agreements
Sentencing Leniency: Avoided habitual offender designation, low sentence despite DF2
Rumor Confirmation: Rumors of Lohr working with police consistent with case pattern

5. Suggested Action Items

Review any co-defendant or related cases tied to the same CSPD case number (210004775)
Search for sealed motions or protective orders around the dates of arrest or plea
Investigate whether testimony, tips, or controlled buys were recorded around the arrest date
Look into court filings for any aliases or multiple case IDs

6. Conclusion

This is a non-standard plea structure that strongly supports the hypothesis that Kevin Lohr received preferential treatment in exchange for cooperation with law enforcement. The leniency given the charge severity, history, and typical sentencing patterns suggest active or recent CI activity.
