Grimy Times Exclusive: Honduran National Sentenced for Violations of the Federal Gun Control Act

In a shocking turn of events, DENNIS NUNEZ-LACAYO, a 28-year-old citizen of Honduras, has been sentenced to 13 months imprisonment for violating the Federal Gun Control Act. This egregious crime took place in Louisiana on June 4, 2014.

According to court documents, NUNEZ-LACAYO, an alien present illegally in the United States, was found in possession of a firearm. This brazen act not only defied the law but also put innocent lives at risk.

U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite praised the work of the Homeland Security Investigations of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in investigating this matter. Assistant United States Attorney Spiro G. Latsis was in charge of the prosecution.

Judge Susie Morgan handed down the sentence, which includes 13 months imprisonment, followed by 1 year of supervised release. Following incarceration, NUNEZ-LACAYO will be surrendered to the custody of the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement for removal proceedings.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of upholding our nation's gun laws and protecting its citizens from harm. NUNEZ-LACAYO's actions were a blatant disregard for the law and a threat to public safety.

Grimy Times will continue to monitor this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
