A 28 year old man from Custer convicted of Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person has been sentenced by a federal court judge.
Kelly Campbell must spend 33 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from Campbell, a previously convicted felon who is prohibited from possessing firearms, being in possession of a Browning Arms Company, model Nomad, .22 Long Rifle caliber, semi-automatic pistol. This firearm was found in Campbell’s possession after a pursuit by the Rapid City Police Department on March 20, 2020.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.
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.
Campbell was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service
