A Stockton man has been charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to a recent indictment. George Onesavanh, 43, of Stockton, California, was found in possession of a gun in Stockton on April 27, 2026.
Onesavanh is prohibited from possessing firearms because of prior felony convictions that include voluntary manslaughter and carrying a concealed weapon. The Stockton Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted the investigation.
Onesavanh is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, a felony offense that carries a maximum statutory penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The charges against Onesavanh are only allegations, and he is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicole M. Vanek is prosecuting the case.
Onesavanh is the second defendant in as many days to be charged with felon in possession of a firearm in the Eastern District of California. Samian Sivansay, 27, of Modesto, was charged with the same offense on June 18, 2026, after posting photos and videos of guns on Instagram.
The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the federal government to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations, and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
