Hufford, 54, who had been married for 25 years, had lost her family home in the Moore tornado
Alton Alexander Nolen, 30, is accused of killing Colleen Hufford, 54, and stabbing Traci Johnson, 43, who apparently were attacked randomly at the Vaughan Foods facility in Moore on Thursday, after he was fired from his job
Hufford, who had been married for 25 years, had lost her family home in the Moore tornado.
Her neighbours described her as 'quick to smile' and said her husband picked her up from the food processing plant every night and he was outside when he found out she had been killed.
Today it was revealed that Nolen had served less than two years of a six-year prison sentence for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, reports News OK.
According to records he went to prison March 10, 2011, to start a two-year sentence for marijuana possession and another two-year sentence for assaulting a highway patrol trooper, the website reported.
He began his six-year sentence for cocaine possession April 26, 2011, records show - due to plea agreements with prosecutors, he was allowed to serve the three prison sentences at the same time.
Because of credits, he was able to complete all three prison sentences in just two years and he was released on March 22, 2013, records show.
'Our intent was to incarcerate him much longer than a year and 11 months,' Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater said Friday.
'This case perfectly illustrates the problem with the Department of Corrections.
'If it's not an 85 percent crime, we have no idea how long a person will actually spend in prison,' Prater said.
