Bismarck Man Sentenced for Felon in Possession Charge
In a shocking turn of events, a Bismarck man has been sentenced to 7 years in federal prison for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
Dylan A. Romero, 34, was found guilty by a federal jury on September 6, 2013, of the charge of possession of firearm by a convicted felon.
Romero’s lengthy criminal history includes eight felony convictions, including burglary, possession of controlled substance (cocaine), delivery of imitation controlled substance, and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.
According to authorities, Romero was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to his prior convictions.
On September 26, 2012, Romero was arrested after meeting with an undercover ATF agent in Bismarck. Romero had attempted to purchase a handgun and $600 worth of cocaine as part of a sting operation.
Romero was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland on December 19, 2013. He was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Crime Victim’s Fund.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, the Metro Area Narcotics Task Force, the Bismarck Police Department, the Burleigh County Sheriff’s Office, the North Dakota Parole and Probation Office, and the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
Assistant U.S. Attorney David Hagler prosecuted the case.
