Brandon Scott Woodley, Convicted Felon in Possession of Ammunition, Tennessee 2016

Knoxville, Tennessee – In a federal court verdict, Brandon Scott Woodley, 34, has been convicted of knowingly possessing ammunition after having previously been convicted of a felony. Woodley has been in custody since his arrest in September 2015, following an August 2015 shooting in a west Knoxville hotel parking lot.

A federal jury convicted Woodley after a two-day trial in U.S District Court on June 2, 2016. Witnesses testified at trial that Woodley shot a co-worker during an argument and fled the scene with the gun; however, some ammunition from the shooting was recovered in the parking lot.

Woodley pleaded guilty in 2009 in the same court of being a convicted felon in possession of a cache of firearms. He is facing a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, plus another 2 years in prison for violating the supervised release he was serving following his prison sentence for the 2009 conviction.

Sentencing was set for October 3, 2016, before the Honorable R. Leon Jordan, Senior U.S District Court Judge.

The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Knoxville Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Morris represented the United States.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a comprehensive national strategy that creates local partnerships with law enforcement agencies to effectively enforce existing gun laws.
