A Canon City, Colorado man has been sentenced to federal prison for possessing a firearm as a prohibited person.
Jeremiah Edward Haning, 39, was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Haning was indicted by a federal grand jury on January 12, 2021, for his involvement in the crime, which occurred on May 18, 2020.
According to the indictment, Haning was pulled over by police and found to be in possession of a Taurus .38 Special caliber revolver, as well as 56 rounds of ammunition.
Haning had previously been convicted of a felony in Colorado and knew he could not possess firearms. At the time of the incident, he was also addicted to methamphetamine.
The case was investigated by the South Dakota Highway Patrol and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey C. Clapper prosecuted the case.
Haning was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
