According to court documents, on or about February 6, 2024, Juneau manufactured, and sold to undercover agents, M-Type explosive devices containing explosive materials, without possessing a license to engage in the business of manufacturing and dealing in explosive materials.
At sentencing, Juneau faces up to 10 years of imprisonment, up to a $250,000.00 fine, and up to 3 years of supervised release. Juneau also faces payment of a mandatory $100 special assessment fee.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
On May 26, 2021, the U.S. Attorney’s Office launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
U.S. Attorney Evans praised the work of the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Troy Bell of the Violent Crimes Unit.
