A St. Paul felon was sentenced to 110 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release for possessing firearms as a felon and for possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Joshua Cameron Hanes, 32, was sentenced on an outstanding felony warrant for his involvement in a crime that occurred on March 22, 2021. Hanes attempted to flee from officers and smashed into one of the squad cars.
According to court documents, officers searched the Jeep Compass and recovered two bags of methamphetamine weighing a total of 198 grams, and a loaded Springfield Armory, 9mm semiautomatic handgun that had been reported stolen in Hudson, Wisconsin.
As part of his plea, Hanes also admitted to possessing a 9mm semiautomatic pistol with a high-capacity magazine. On September 14, 2021, Hanes pleaded guilty to one count of possessing a firearm as a felon and one count of possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Because he has prior felony convictions, Hanes is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition at any time.
This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Eagan Police Department, and the St. Paul Police Department.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David P. Steinkamp.
