Roeuth Korm, Possessing a Firearm as a Felon, California 2021

Roeuth Korm, a 33-year-old man from Stockton, pleaded guilty on Monday to being a felon in possession of a firearm.

According to court documents, on July 26, 2019, deputies encountered Korm near East Waterloo Road in Stockton. Korm was on parole and subject to search. When deputies searched his car, they found a Glock semi-automatic handgun.

Korm has been convicted of several felonies and is prohibited by law from possessing a firearm. He is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller on January 11, 2021.

As part of the plea agreement, Korm faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

This case is the product of an investigation by the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tanya B. Syed and Cameron Desmond are prosecuting the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. The program was reinvigorated in 2017 as part of the renewed focus on targeting violent criminals.

Korm's guilty plea marks another successful outcome in our efforts to reduce violent crime in the Central Valley. We will continue to work tirelessly to keep our communities safe and bring those who commit crimes to justice.
