Felon in Possession of Firearm Conviction Results in 15 Year Federal Prison Sentence
Posted on Jan 05, 2010
Federal prosecutors are waging war against convicted felons who are found in possession of firearms. AUnder federal and Virginia law, a person convicted of a felony is barred from possessing any firearm -- whether it be a rifle, shotgun or pistol. The penalties for violation of the law are harsh. This recent case illustrates how tough they can be.
Thurman Wyatt, 30, of Madison, Wis., was sentenced this month by Wisconsin U.S. District Judge Barbara B. Crabb to 188 months in federal prison for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Wyatt pleaded guilty to this charge on November 5, 2009.
On May 4, 2009, Wyatt and co-conspirator Reginald Ballard went to the Capitol Bank in Verona, Wis. Ballard went into the bank, robbed it at gunpoint and was arrested outside of the bank after a standoff with police officers.
Wyatt was found in a car near the scene. In an interview with law enforcement agents, Wyatt admitted to possessing a firearm and giving it to Ballard before the bank robbery.
During the sentencing hearing, Judge Crabb stated that Wyatt was a danger to the community and a lengthy sentence was necessary to protect the public.
United States Attorney Sinnott praised the efforts of the bank employees and law enforcement agents involved in this investigation.
Reginald Ballard was sentenced by Judge Crabb on October 28, 2009 to 11 years in prison for the bank robbery.
