Corpus Christi Resident Sentenced for Gun Crime
A 39-year-old Corpus Christi resident, Jacob Andrew Rosenblum, has been ordered to federal prison after being convicted of unlawfully possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
According to court documents, on March 29, 2021, authorities observed Rosenblum attempting to break into a storage container. As they approached, he fled, leading to a brief foot pursuit.
Law enforcement began to detain him, but quickly observed him attempting to move his hands towards his waistband. Officers then located a revolver containing five rounds of ammunition concealed within his waistband area.
They also found him in possession of multiple locks and a master key, which the investigation revealed he had previously used to slip out of custody on a previous occasion and flee on foot.
Rosenblum pleaded guilty on September 23, 2021.
U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos ordered him to serve a 77-month sentence to be immediately followed by three years of supervised release. The court heard additional information detailing Rosenblum’s extensive criminal history, including a recent successful escape from local law enforcement custody after being placed under arrest for an unrelated offense.
Rosenblum will return to state custody to serve that sentence and later transferred to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the future.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted the investigation with the assistance of the Corpus Christi Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Roland Swanson prosecuted the case.
