Ly, Lucycan, Firearms Charge, Wisconsin 2017
A Green Bay man has been sentenced to 84 months in federal prison for a firearms charge. Lucycan Ly, 36, was sentenced on February 13, 2017, by Chief United States District Judge William C. Griesbach.
Ly pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking charge in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 924(c)(1)(A).
According to the plea agreement and other documents filed with the court, police searched Ly’s residence and found large amounts of methamphetamine and marijuana, along with 3 loaded firearms. As a felon, Ly was prohibited from possessing a firearm based on prior convictions in state court.
In pronouncing the sentence, Chief Judge Griesbach noted the debilitating effect that methamphetamine has on individuals and the great harm the drug causes in Northeast Wisconsin. He further noted that the quantity of methamphetamine and the presence of firearms made this a particularly dangerous crime.
The case was investigated by the Brown County Drug Task Force and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel R. Humble.
Ly’s sentence is a reminder of the severe consequences of committing crimes with firearms. The presence of loaded firearms in the home of a convicted felon poses a significant threat to public safety.
Those with information about similar crimes are urged to contact law enforcement.
