A Rapid City, South Dakota, man convicted of Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person has been sentenced by a U.S. District Judge.
Isiah Cutgrass, age 26, was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from Cutgrass, a previously convicted felon who is prohibited from possessing firearms, knowingly possessing a Glock, model 30, .45 AUTO caliber, semi-automatic pistol, which was found after Cutgrass came into contact with law enforcement in March 2020 in Rapid City.
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, and the Rapid City Police Department.
