Biloxi resident Charles Nevotney Bolton, 33, has admitted to being a felon in possession of a firearm, a serious crime that can have severe consequences.
On April 30, 2018, Bolton sold methamphetamine to a confidential informant, leading Biloxi police to obtain a search warrant for his home. During the search, they found marijuana, methamphetamine, and a handgun.
Bolton’s multiple felony convictions date back to 2005, making him a convicted felon and subject to strict gun laws.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Biloxi Police Department, with Assistant United States Attorney Annette Williams prosecuting the case.
Bolton faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine. He will be sentenced by Judge Louis Guirola Jr. on July 17, 2018, at 10:00 a.m.
The guilty plea and impending sentencing serve as a reminder of the importance of gun laws and the severe consequences for those who break them.
This case is a testament to the hard work and dedication of law enforcement agencies in Mississippi, who work tirelessly to keep their communities safe.
