Milton Napoleon Porter, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Missouri 2023

A 41-year-old Sikeston, Missouri man has been sentenced to 200 months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Milton Napoleon Porter pleaded guilty in November to the offense of being a previously convicted felon in possession of a firearm after he was caught with a loaded 9mm semi-automatic pistol.

According to court documents, officers with the Sikeston Department of Public Safety were dispatched to a reported vehicle break-in on East Kathleen Street last July. Porter was located at the scene and attempted to flee, tossing the loaded pistol on the ground during a foot pursuit.

A criminal background check revealed Porter had 13 felony convictions, including multiple convictions for domestic assault.

Porter will be placed on supervised release for a period of five years after serving his sentence. This case was investigated by the Sikeston Department of Public Safety.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Koester handled the prosecution for the government.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence, and making our neighborhoods safer for everyone.

The PSN program is based on four core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
