Robert Brent Goodwin, a convicted felon with a lengthy criminal history, was sentenced to 100 months in prison for illegally possessing four firearms in Bay Minette, Alabama.
According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Alabama, Goodwin was found guilty of violating 18 USC § 922(g)(1) on June 17, 2016, after pleading guilty to the charges on March 17, 2016.
The incident occurred on June 28, 2015, when Goodwin was found to be in possession of four firearms in Bay Minette, Alabama, despite being a convicted felon.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Fairhope Police Department, with Assistant United States Attorney Lawrence J. Bullard prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Alabama.

The case serves as a reminder of the importance of enforcing laws related to firearms possession by felons, and the severe consequences that come with violating these laws.
