Deandre Rose, 29, Sentenced for Firearm Violation in New Orleans
A 29-year-old New Orleans man has been sentenced to 84 months in prison for violating federal firearm laws.
Deandre Rose, a resident of New Orleans, pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2), in the United States District Court.
According to court documents, Rose was arrested by the New Orleans Police Department on January 28, 2021, after he tossed a firearm while fleeing from officers who were attempting to arrest him pursuant to an arrest warrant.
Following his arrest, officers monitoring Rose’s jail calls learned that he possessed a second firearm inside of the vehicle he was operating on the day that he was arrested. Officers were conducting surveillance of Rose when they observed him driving his vehicle, minutes before his arrest. After obtaining a search warrant to search Rose’s vehicle, officers located an assault rifle inside of Rose’s vehicle.
United States District Court Judge Wendy B. Vitter imposed a sentence of 84 months of imprisonment. Following his term of imprisonment, Rose will be placed on supervised release for a period of 3 years. Rose must also pay a $100 mandatory special assessment fee. A fine was not imposed.
This case is being prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s violent crime reduction efforts.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the New Orleans Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Brittany Reed of the Violent Crime/Strike Force Unit of the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
