Bobby Joseph Stallworth, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Mississippi 2019

A 59-year-old man from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm in Jackson, Mississippi.

Bobby Joseph Stallworth entered a guilty plea before Senior U.S. District Judge David C. Bramlette III on April 3, 2019, to being a felon in possession of a firearm, announced U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst and Special Agent in Charge Christopher Freeze with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Stallworth was previously convicted of approximately twenty felony offenses out of Escambia County, Florida, over the past thirty years, most of which involved theft or forgery.

On October 9, 2017, Stallworth was found in possession of a firearm in Jackson after law enforcement intervened in a domestic dispute with his then-girlfriend.

Stallworth will be sentenced by Judge Bramlette on August 22, 2019, at 11:00 a.m., and faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

This case is part of Project EJECT, an initiative by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Mississippi to fight and reduce violent crime through prosecution, prevention, re-entry and awareness.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Jackson Police Department investigated the case. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Andrew W. Eichner.
