Topeka, Kansas – In a wave of crackdowns on federal firearms charges, five Topeka men have been indicted in separate cases. According to U.S. Attorney Tom Beall, the defendants are facing serious penalties if convicted.
The defendants, ranging in age from 24 to 46, are charged with unlawful possession of firearms following felony convictions. In some cases, they are also charged with additional offenses, including possession of a sawed-off shotgun and stolen firearm.
Under federal law, it is illegal for convicted felons to possess firearms. If convicted, the defendants face up to 10 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000.
The investigating agencies included the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jared Maag, Greg Hough, and Duston Slinkard.
The defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The indictments merely contain allegations of criminal conduct.
A court date has not been set for the defendants. The public is advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
