Arielle Griffis, 31, Sentenced to 100 Months in Prison for Being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm

SOUTH BEND, Indiana - In a shocking turn of events, Arielle Griffis, a 31-year-old woman from Walton, Indiana, was sentenced to 100 months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

According to documents obtained by Grimy Times, Griffis was wanted on a warrant when she led law enforcement on a high-speed car chase in January 2020. During the chase, she threw a firearm and methamphetamine out of the car.

Griffis has several prior serious drug convictions, which made her a prime target for law enforcement. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank E. Schaffer prosecuted.

The sentencing took place at the United States District Court in South Bend, where Judge Damon R. Leichty handed down the 100-month sentence, followed by 3 years of supervised release.

Griffis's actions have left a trail of destruction in her wake, and her sentencing serves as a reminder of the consequences of breaking the law. As a felon in possession of a firearm, Griffis has shown a blatant disregard for the safety of her community.

With this sentencing, Griffis will now face the consequences of her actions, and the community can breathe a sigh of relief. The case serves as a reminder that law enforcement will not tolerate reckless behavior, and those who break the law will face the full force of the law.
