Anthony Lobar, 27, of Portland, pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing cocaine and crack cocaine with intent to distribute in the U.S. District Court in Portland.

He was arrested on July 8, 2024, on a state arrest warrant, and cocaine, crack cocaine, cash, several cell phones, seven firearms, and ammunition were all found inside his home.

He faces up to 20 years in prison and $1 million in fines with up to a lifetime of supervised release.

Lobar’s arrest warrant came after he allegedly displayed a firearm and threatened to shoot customers in Crown Fried Chicken in Portland.

He also allegedly discharged his firearm in the parking lot.

He was not apprehended immediately because police believed his arrest could pose risks to the several small children who were present when he was first located.
