A New Orleans man has been sentenced to 40 months in prison for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
Marvin Young, 40, was sentenced on April 13, 2023, by U.S. District Court Judge Eldon E. Fallon after pleading guilty to a one-count indictment.
Young was also ordered to pay a mandatory $100 special assessment fee and serve three years of supervised release following his release from imprisonment.
The charges against Young stem from a joint operation between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and multiple state agencies on July 8, 2021. During the operation, Young was observed lifting his shirt, revealing a firearm tucked into his waistband.
Young was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a previous felony conviction.
The case is part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods program, which aims to reduce violent crime and gun violence in neighborhoods.
U.S. Attorney Evans praised the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the New Orleans Police Department in the matter. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mike Trummel of the Violent Crime Unit.
