A 29 year old Waubay man convicted of Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person has been sentenced by U.S. District Judge Charles B. Kornmann.
Levi Ambrose Locke was sentenced to 36 months in federal prison, three years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
The conviction stemmed from an incident on or about October 2, 2020, when Locke, who had previously been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year and was also an unlawful user of a controlled substance, possessed a Sturm Ruger .22 long rifle, semi-automatic rifle, which had been shipped and transported in interstate and foreign commerce.
Locke knew he was prohibited from owning firearms due to his previous conviction.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeremy R. Jehangiri prosecuted the case.
Locke was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
