Las Vegas, Nevada - A felon with multiple prior convictions has been charged with allegedly possessing stolen firearms and suppressors.

Erik Robert Rasmusson, a resident of Las Vegas, made his initial appearance in court today for the alleged crimes, which include two counts of felon in possession of a firearm and two counts of possession of a stolen firearm. A jury trial is scheduled for September 14, 2026, according to court records.

The alleged crimes took place on July 1, 2025, and July 11, 2025, when Rasmusson allegedly possessed a Remington 870 shotgun and a Ruger 10/22 rifle, as well as two rifles and five suppressors. The Ruger 10/22 rifle and suppressors were stolen.

Rasmusson has prior felony convictions, all in Clark County, Nevada, including attempt racketeering, conspiracy to commit robbery, and ownership or possession of firearm by prohibited person. He is prohibited from possessing a firearm by law.

If convicted, Rasmusson faces up to 50 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Weidhaas is prosecuting the case.

It is worth noting that an indictment is merely an accusation, and Rasmusson is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
