Lorenzo Robert Warren, Firearms Violation, Alabama 2025

A Mobile man has been sentenced to four years in prison for illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.

Lorenzo Robert Warren, 41, was arrested by Mobile Police Department narcotics investigators on April 4, 2023, during the execution of a search warrant at a house in Mobile.

According to court documents, when officers arrived to execute the warrant, they found Warren in the backyard area of the house. Agents searched Warren’s pickup truck, which was parked nearby the house, and found a loaded and stolen 9mm pistol lying on the front seat of Warren’s truck.

In an ashtray of the truck near the pistol, agents also located and seized a baggie containing crack cocaine.

At the time Warren possessed the pistol, he previously had been convicted of several felony drug-distribution crimes.

Warren’s convictions rendered his possession of the pistol illegal under federal law.

In addition to the 48-month prison term, Chief U.S. District Judge Jeffrey U. Beaverstock ordered Warren to serve a three-year term of supervised release upon his release from prison, during which time he will be subject to drug testing and treatment.

The court did not impose a fine, but Chief Judge Beaverstock ordered Warren to pay $100 in special assessments.

U.S. Attorney Sean P. Costello of the Southern District of Alabama made the announcement.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Mobile Police Department investigated the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Roller prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the federal government to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
