Faribault Man Sentenced to 75 Months in Prison for Illegally Possessing Firearms
A Faribault man was sentenced to 75 months in prison followed by two years of supervised release for possessing a firearm as a felon. Andrew Albert Comeaux, 38, was found to be in possession of a firearm despite having prior felony convictions in Blue Earth County and in Le Sueur County.
According to court documents, on June 15, 2020, multiple law enforcement agencies executed a search warrant at a Faribault residence belonging to Comeaux. During the search, law enforcement found a Mossberg 702 Plinkster .22 caliber rifle, a Mosin-Nagant 7.62x54R rifle, several boxes of .223 caliber ammunition, methamphetamine, psilocybin mushrooms, and numerous items of drug paraphernalia.
Comeaux also admitted to possessing an unserialized AR-15 style pistol with a large capacity magazine and a homemade silencer. Due to his prior felony convictions, Comeaux is prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition.
On February 3, 2021, Comeaux pleaded guilty to one count of possessing a firearm as a felon. This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, the South Central Drug Task Force, the Cannon River Drug Task Force, Rice and Steele County Sheriff’s Offices, the Faribault and Owatonna Police Departments, Metro SWAT, and the St. Paul Bomb Squad, with coordination from the Rice County Attorney’s Office.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander D. Chiquoine. Acting U.S. Attorney W. Anders Folk for the District of Minnesota made the announcement after U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz sentenced the defendant.
