Aaron Michael Correia, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, California 2023

Aaron Michael Correia, 38, of San Joaquin County, has been sentenced to five years in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

According to court documents, during a traffic stop, Correia was found to be in possession of a loaded .22 Ruger revolver and a box of .22 caliber ammunition. Correia is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because he has multiple state felony convictions, including 2017 and 2021 convictions for being a felon in possession of a firearm in San Joaquin County.

This case was the result of an investigation by the Manteca Police Department, the Stockton Police Department, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Haddy Abouzeid prosecuted the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program that brings together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.

On May 26, 2021, the U.S. government launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

The investigation and prosecution of this case are a testament to the successful collaboration between law enforcement agencies and the U.S. government in fighting violent crime and gun violence.

Aaron Michael Correia will serve his five-year sentence in a federal prison. This case serves as a reminder of the consequences of possessing firearms or ammunition as a felon.
