Florida Man Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison for Gun Crime
Pensacola, Florida
Grant Bieber, a 45-year-old Gulf Shores resident, was sentenced to four years in federal prison after pleading guilty to possession of ammunition by a convicted felon. The sentence was announced by John P. Heekin, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.
According to court documents, on October 28, 2024, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office patrol deputies responded to a disturbance at a residence in Cantonment, Florida. When deputies arrived, Bieber and a woman were found in the woman’s vehicle outside of the residence. Bieber’s truck was parked near the woman’s vehicle. Based on the facts of the investigation, law enforcement obtained a search warrant to search Bieber’s truck, and thereafter found a box of .22-caliber ammunition and a wallet containing his Alabama Driver License in the center console.
The defendant had previously been convicted of multiple felony offenses, and was therefore barred from possessing firearms or ammunition. The sentence was the result of a joint investigation by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jeffrey Tharp. This 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 (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
