A Pierre man has been sentenced to prison for possessing a firearm despite being a prohibited person.
Devin Alexander Rosenblum, 28, was sentenced to two years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. He was also ordered to forfeit interest in a Sturm, Ruger & Company pistol involved in the matter.
The crime occurred on October 26, 2022, when Rosenblum was found to be in possession of a black Sturm, Ruger & Company Incorporated pistol. He admitted that the pistol belonged to his roommate and that he took it without permission. Rosenblum is precluded from possessing any firearms due to prior felony convictions.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service, South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, Pierre Police Department, Hughes County Sheriff’s Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Abby Roesler prosecuted the case.
