Alexander Ramon Perez, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Arkansas 2020

A convicted felon is headed to federal prison after being caught with a 9mm pistol in his vehicle. Alexander Ramon Perez, 34, was sentenced to 100 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release on one count of being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm.

The incident occurred on May 28, 2020, when officers with the Springdale Police Department initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Perez. One of the officers witnessed Perez throw an object from the window prior to stopping his vehicle. Officers searched the area where the object was thrown and found a 9mm pistol.

After the stop, police interviewed two passengers in the vehicle who both confirmed that Perez possessed the firearm and threw it from the vehicle. Perez is a convicted felon and is prohibited from possessing a firearm.

The case was investigated by the Springdale Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Hunter Bridges as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime.

The sentence was handed down by the Honorable Timothy L. Brooks in the United States District Court in Fayetteville.

U.S. Attorney David Clay Fowlkes of the Western District of Arkansas made the announcement.

Perez’s sentence is a reminder of the consequences of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. The Springdale Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office are committed to keeping our communities safe and bringing those who break the law to justice.
