Jesus Fabian Jimenez, 41, of Hobbs, New Mexico, was sentenced to 60 months in prison for violating federal firearms laws by unlawfully possessing firearms and ammunition.
According to the indictment, Jimenez was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because he previously had been convicted of battery on a peace officer, larceny, and trafficking a controlled substance.
