Felon Sentenced to 13 Years for Gun, Meth Stash

A convicted felon has been sentenced to 160 months in prison for possessing a rifle and hundreds of grams of methamphetamine, authorities said.

U.S. District Judge Stephen R. Clark handed down the sentence to Antwon Fulton, 33, of St. John, Missouri, on Wednesday. Fulton was a passenger in a car with no front license plate and an expired temporary license tag when he was pulled over by St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department officers on May 6, 2021.

Officers found a Chinese SKS semi-automatic rifle in the rear of the car, which belonged to Fulton, and a bag containing 27.05 grams of methamphetamine in the vehicle’s center console. Fulton is a convicted felon and is barred from possessing firearms.

Fulton pleaded guilty in December to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and being a felon in possession of a firearm. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Goeke prosecuted the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence. The program brings together law enforcement and community organizations to prevent violence and make neighborhoods safer.

The Department of Justice launched a violent crime reduction strategy in May 2021, strengthening PSN based on four core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy, supporting community-based organizations, setting focused enforcement priorities, and measuring results.
