Texarkana Man Gets 87 Months for Gun Crime
A 29-year-old man from Wilton, Arkansas, has been sentenced to over seven years in federal prison for a firearms violation. Bobby Joe Hampton was found guilty of Felon in Possession of a Firearm after a two-day jury trial in July, 2015.
According to court documents, Hampton was arrested and charged in March, 2014. The case was investigated by the Texarkana Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David Harris. The Honorable Judge Susan O. Hickey presided over the sentencing in the United States District Court in Texarkana.
Hampton’s sentence of 87 months and 23 days is to run concurrent with the remaining undischarged state sentence he received in Miller County. The sentence marks the culmination of a years-long investigation into Hampton’s involvement in the gun crime.
The sentence handed down to Hampton is a significant one, and it sends a clear message to those who would break the law. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of law enforcement agencies and prosecutors who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe.
Hampton’s case is a stark reminder of the dangers of gun violence and the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions. The sentence handed down to him is a just one, and it will serve as a warning to others who would engage in similar behavior.
