A Rapid City man convicted of Possession of a Stolen Firearm in US District Court has received his punishment from a federal judge.
Hank Dubray, age 36, was sentenced to 14 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from Dubray knowingly possessing a stolen Ruger, model SR40, .40 caliber pistol with an obliterated serial number. The Ruger pistol was among the 24 firearms that were stolen by two other individuals from The Rooster sporting goods store in Rapid City in August 2018. During the investigation, 22 of the 24 stolen guns were recovered by law enforcement.
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, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, Rapid City Police Department, and the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office.
Dubray was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
