Lafayette Man Sentenced to 4 Years, 4 Months in Prison for Felon in Possession of Firearm

LAFAYETTE, La. – Jeremy Rubin, 32, of Lafayette, Louisiana, was sentenced to 52 months (4 years, 4 months) in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Rubin pleaded guilty on July 24, 2020, to the charge, which stems from a domestic disturbance call that Lafayette City Police responded to on August 19, 2018. The caller advised that her boyfriend had threatened her, directed her into a bedroom, placed a handgun to her head and threatened her life.

Law enforcement officers arrived at the residence where the call had been placed and questioned Jeremy Rubin about the incident. Rubin denied having a firearm and denied consent for law enforcement officers to search his vehicle. A search warrant was obtained and officers found the firearm and ammunition in a case bearing Rubin’s name in the vehicle.

Further investigation by law enforcement officers revealed that the firearm had been reported stolen. Rubin has a previous felony conviction for first-degree robbery in 2008.

Under federal law, it is illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a felony to be in possession of a firearm or ammunition. The ATF and Lafayette City Police conducted the investigation, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jamilla A. Bynog prosecuted the case.

The case serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of violating federal firearms laws. Rubin’s sentence is a result of his repeated disregard for the law and his failure to take responsibility for his actions.
