Jeremy Dionne Smiley, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Alabama 2026
A Montgomery man has been sentenced to 84 months in prison after pleading guilty to a federal gun charge.
Jeremy Dionne Smiley, 36, of Montgomery, Alabama, received a 60-month sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm on January 22, 2026. This sentence is in addition to a 24-month sentence he received in February 2025 for violating the terms of his federal supervised release. The sentences are related to the same incident and were ordered to run consecutively.
According to court records, Smiley was residing in Montgomery while on federal supervised release after completing a 71-month prison sentence for a prior federal firearms conviction. On December 20, 2024, law enforcement officers responded to a domestic disturbance call at Smiley's residence, which included a report that shots had been fired.
Following the incident, Smiley admitted to his federal probation officer that he possessed an AR-15-style rifle and had discharged the firearm into the air during the disturbance. Smiley's possession of the firearm violated the conditions of his supervised release and resulted in a new federal charge.
On October 20, 2025, Smiley pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. The Montgomery Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the United States Probation Office investigated the case. Assistant United States Attorneys Michelle R. Turner and J. Patrick Lamb prosecuted this case.
Smiley will serve an additional three years of supervised release following his term of imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. Smiley's total sentence will be 84 months, with 60 months for the gun charge and 24 months for violating his supervised release.
The case is a stark reminder of the consequences of violating federal laws and the importance of adhering to the conditions of supervised release. The Montgomery community can rest a little easier knowing that justice has been served in this matter.
