Chanz Outing, Federal Firearms Offenses, Kentucky 2023

Defendant Sentenced to 3 Years, 4 Months in Prison for Federal Firearms Offenses

Paducah, KY – Chanz Outing, a 41-year-old man from Cadiz, Kentucky, was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison followed by a 3-year term of supervised release for possessing a firearm after having been previously convicted of a felony offense and possessing the firearm in violation of the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.

According to court documents, Outing was prohibited from possessing a firearm because he had previously been convicted of two felony offenses. On October 15, 2002, in Trigg Circuit Court, he was convicted of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (cocaine). On January 15, 2009, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, Paducah Division, Outing was convicted of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and aiding and abetting the distribution of marijuana.

The case was investigated by the ATF Bowling Green Resident Agency and the Trigg County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Leigh Ann Dycus, of the U.S. Attorney’s Paducah Branch Office, prosecuted the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.

U.S. Attorney Michael A. Bennett of the Western District of Kentucky and Special Agent in Charge R. Shawn Morrow of the ATF Louisville Field Division made the announcement.

There is no parole in the federal system, and Outing will serve his 46-month sentence in a federal prison. The sentence was handed down by a federal judge in the Western District of Kentucky.
