A Whitewood man convicted of Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person was sentenced by Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Judge.
Travis Longfox, age 29, must spend 36 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from Longfox, who is a previously convicted felon and prohibited from possessing firearms, being found in possession of a Kel-Tec .22 caliber semi-automatic pistol, which was found after Longfox came into contact with law enforcement in July 2019 in Rapid City.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts.
The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco, and Explosives, and the Rapid City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Patterson prosecuted the case.
Longfox was immediately remanded to the custody of the US Marshals Service.
