Jarvis Kendal Haynes, False Statement During Purchase of a Firearm, Mississippi 2021

Jackson, Mississippi – Jarvis Kendal Haynes, 30, of Jackson, pleaded guilty to false statement during purchase of a firearm.

Haynes made the false statement on April 16, 2020, when he purchased a 9mm handgun from a Jackson pawnshop. He claimed he was not an unlawful user or addicted to marijuana or other controlled substances. However, Haynes later admitted to using marijuana regularly and lying about his use on the firearms purchase form.

A federal grand jury returned an indictment against Haynes on August 11, 2020, charging him with unlawful possession of a firearm by a controlled substance user and false statement during purchase of a firearm.

Haynes is facing a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentencing is scheduled for July 14, 2021, at 1:30 p.m. before U.S. District Judge Kristi H. Johnson.

Acting U.S. Attorney Darren J. LaMarca commended the work of the Special Agents with HSI’s Jackson Division, who investigated the case, and the United States Marshals Service, who assisted with the arrest of the defendant.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Theodore Cooperstein.

As the investigation showed, Haynes’ actions put him in violation of federal firearms laws. His guilty plea serves as a reminder of the consequences of such actions.
