Aundre Devon Holifield, Selling Firearm to Convicted Felon, Alabama 2014

Brothers Sentenced in Federal Court for Selling Firearm to a Convicted Felon

In a shocking case of gun-related crime, Aundre Devon Holifield, 24, and his brother Akeem Orlando Holifield, 21, both of Marion, Alabama, have been sentenced in federal court for selling a firearm to a convicted felon.

The brothers, from Marion, Alabama, pleaded guilty to the charge in July 2014, and were subsequently sentenced by United States District Court Judge Kristi K. Dubose. Holifield’s age and his brother’s age were mentioned in the source.

According to the court, Aundre Devon Holifield and his brother Akeem Orlando Holifield were sentenced to time served for each defendant and placed on three years’ supervised release. They were also ordered to get a job within the next 60 days or bring a doctor’s note excusing them from employment.

Each brother was required to pay a $100 special mandatory assessment, but Judge Dubose did not impose a fine. The case was investigated by the 4th Judicial Drug Task Force, the Alabama Attorney General’s Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

United States Attorney’s Office Assistant United States Attorney Gloria Bedwell prosecuted the case. The sentencing marked a significant milestone in the case, bringing closure to the families affected by the crime.

The Holifield brothers’ case serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of selling firearms to individuals who are not legally permitted to possess them. It is a crime that carries severe penalties, and the brothers’ sentence reflects the gravity of their actions.

The case also highlights the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies in preventing and investigating crimes related to firearms. The 4th Judicial Drug Task Force, the Alabama Attorney General’s Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives worked together to bring the Holifield brothers to justice.

Aundre Devon Holifield and his brother Akeem Orlando Holifield will now serve their sentences and undergo supervised release, with a focus on finding employment and complying with the conditions of their release.
