Felony Ammunition Possession Lands Man 30 Months
A four-time convicted felon has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for illegally possessing firearm ammunition in southern Illinois. Troy A. Schrage, 37, of Troy, Illinois, was found guilty of being a Felon in Possession of Ammunition after a two-day trial in June 2021.
The offense occurred in April 2020, when the United States Marshals Service located Schrage in Belleville, Illinois, and arrested him for multiple active warrants. During the arrest, the ammunition was found in his possession. Federal law prohibits convicted felons from possessing firearms and firearm ammunition.
A federal grand jury indicted Schrage in June 2020, and a jury convicted him of the offense after a two-day trial in June 2021. As part of his sentence, Schrage was ordered to serve a three-year term of supervised release after release from prison.
The investigation was conducted by the United States Marshals Service Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Cahokia Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys John Trippi and Daniel Kapsak.
Schrage’s history of convictions and his latest run-in with the law has earned him a 30-month prison sentence. His sentence serves as a reminder of the consequences of violating federal laws, particularly those related to firearms and ammunition.
As the investigation showed, Schrage’s actions had serious consequences, and his sentence reflects the severity of the offense. The case serves as a warning to others who may be considering similar actions.
The sentencing of Schrage is a significant step in upholding federal laws and keeping communities safe. It is a reminder that law enforcement agencies and the judicial system are committed to holding individuals accountable for their actions.
