Cody Man Caught with Unlawful Ammunition

A 26-year-old Cody man is facing up to 15 years in prison after being arraigned for being a felon in possession of ammunition.

Adam Shane Aviles, Jr. was detained at the request of the government and will remain in custody pending trial, set for January 22, 2024, before U.S. District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson.

According to court documents, the crime is being investigated by the Park County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paige Hammer.

An indictment merely contains allegations, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Aviles, 26, of Cody, Wyoming, was arraigned on November 21 for being a felon in possession of ammunition. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Aviles faces up to 15 years’ imprisonment with three years of supervised release and up to a $250,000 fine. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

The investigation into Aviles is ongoing, with the Park County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI working together to gather evidence and build a case against the defendant.

As the trial approaches, the community is left wondering what led to Aviles’ alleged possession of unlawful ammunition. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
