Christopher Michael Screechfield, Felon in Possession of Ammunition, Iowa 2023

A Davenport man, Christopher Michael Screechfield, age 23, was sentenced to 24 months in prison for Felon in Possession of Ammunition in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa.

The sentence was handed down by United States District Court Judge Stephanie M. Rose on an unspecified date in 2023. Screechfield was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release to follow his prison term as well as pay $100 to the Crime Victims' Fund.

This sentence is to be served consecutively to a supervised release revocation sentence for a prior federal offense from 2017. Screechfield had previously been convicted of possession of an unregistered firearm in March of 2018 and was sentenced to 42 months in prison with three years of supervised release to follow.

Screechfield was placed on supervised release on October 15, 2020. Due to the instant charge, his supervised release was revoked, and he was sentenced to serve 14 months in prison. That term was ordered to be served consecutive to the 24-month term imposed today.

According to court documents, Screechfield was identified after officers responded to a residence in Davenport where Screechfield attempted to commit suicide and injured himself. Screechfield was transported to the hospital. Further investigation from law enforcement revealed Screechfield was wanted for a supervised release violation by the United States Marshals Service.

When officers took Screechfield into custody, he had three bullets in his possession. On April 20, 2021, Screechfield pleaded guilty to the charge. The Davenport Police Department investigated the case.

Acting United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal of the Southern District of Iowa made the announcement.
