Raymond Jackson Sentenced to 30 Months for Possessing Two Firearms in Wisconsin
MADISON, WIS. – In a shocking case of gun violence, Raymond Jackson, 52, of Chicago, Illinois, was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for possessing two firearms and ammunition as a felon in Wisconsin, 2017.
According to court documents, Jackson was initially charged in state court but absconded from his pretrial supervision and failed to appear for court. He was subsequently indicted by a federal grand jury and arrested by law enforcement in Chicago in September 2018.
The investigation into Jackson’s activities was a joint effort by the Price County Sheriff’s Office, Phillips Police Department, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Chicago Police Department Fugitive Apprehension Unit, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Price County District Attorney’s Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Meredith P. Duchemin handled the prosecution of the case, which has been brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), the U.S. program to reduce violent crime.
U.S. District Judge James D. Peterson noted Jackson’s lengthy criminal history, which included prior convictions for burglary, robbery, possession of a controlled substance, theft, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, criminal damage to property, and domestic battery.
Judge Peterson also noted that one of the firearms Jackson possessed had an obliterated serial number. The 30-month sentence reflects the severity of Jackson’s crime and his history of violent behavior.
The case highlights the ongoing struggle to combat gun violence and crime in Wisconsin and serves as a reminder of the importance of community vigilance and cooperation in preventing such crimes.
Under Project Safe Neighborhoods, the U.S. is working to reduce violent crime by addressing gun crime, especially felons illegally possessing firearms and ammunition, and violent and drug crimes that involve the use of firearms.
