Prior Felony History
- 2011 – Aggravated Motor Vehicle Theft (F4) — 8 years DOC.
- 2018 – Controlled Substance Possession (DF4) — 2 years DOC.
Already a prohibited possessor and repeat drug offender. Any new felony — especially involving drugs or firearms — carries steep penalties and mandatory prison exposure.
April 30, 2021 Arrest – Original Charges
- DF1 – Possession w/ Intent ≥112g (Schedule I/II) — top-tier trafficking weight.
- DF1 Special Offender – Firearm in drug offense (adds mandatory years).
- DF2 – Possession w/ Intent 7–112g (Schedule I/II).
- DF3 – Marijuana concentrate possession w/ intent (<5 lbs / 2.5 lbs).
- DF4 ×2 – Controlled substance possession (>4g).
- DM1 – Marijuana/concentrate over legal limit.
- F6 – Possession of a weapon by a previous offender.
- T2 – Driving without a license.
This stack carried multiple mandatory prison sentences with the potential for decades behind bars.
Colorado Sentencing Ranges
DF1 (≥112g trafficking level): 8–32 years DOC presumptive, mandatory minimums apply; prior felonies or firearms can push the minimum to 12+ years.
DF2 (7–112g intent to distribute): 4–8 years DOC presumptive; aggravated 8–16 years.
Outcome
January 13, 2022 — Pleads guilty to only one count: DF2 possession with intent (7–112g). All other charges — including both DF1s, firearm special offender, prior felon with a gun, DF3, DF4s, and DM1 — were dismissed by the DA.
April 1, 2022 — Sentenced to 4 years DOC.
This resolution also cleared four or five other pending cases listed in separate court filings (see linked PDFs) — all dismissed in the same week.
Why This Stands Out
For someone with Lohr’s record and this original charge stack, a plea to a single DF2 with 4 years is far lighter than standard outcomes in Colorado. DF1 + firearm + prior felon status routinely draws 12–30 years DOC. Dropping the top counts and enhancements removes the most serious sentencing exposure.
No public record shows suppression motions or evidence collapses. Without a documented procedural failure, the most plausible explanation for this dramatic reduction is a cooperation-based resolution.
Recent Comparable Colorado Sentences (Non-Fatal Cases)
- Adams County – Defendant pled to DF1 fentanyl trafficking + eluding; sentenced to 16 years DOC (source).
Compared to these outcomes, Lohr’s 4-year DF2 plea is an outlier.
