Shreveport Man Sentenced for Illegal Firearm Possession
SHREVEPORT, La. – In a stark reminder of the consequences of breaking the law, Treveon T. Carter, 25, of Shreveport, Louisiana, has been sentenced to 74 months (6 years, 2 months) in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, for illegal possession of a firearm.
The case began on January 24, 2019, when law enforcement agents searched Carter’s home in Shreveport and discovered a plethora of incriminating evidence, including marijuana, oxycodone, 20 containers of suspected THC, a digital scale, packaging material, cash, and a loaded firearm. Carter’s admission to agents that the loaded firearm and drug evidence belonged to him sealed his fate.
Carter’s history of lawlessness caught up with him. He has a prior felony conviction for possession with intent to distribute narcotics in 2017, which should have served as a warning to him that it was illegal for him to possess a firearm. His actions demonstrate a blatant disregard for the law and a clear intent to engage in illicit activities.
The investigation was conducted by the ATF and the Shreveport/Caddo Street Level Interdiction Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica D. Cassidy prosecuted the case, ensuring that justice was served.
The case falls under Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and making our neighborhoods safer for everyone. By working together with law enforcement and the community, we can create a safer and more just society.
Treveon T. Carter’s sentence serves as a warning to those who would engage in similar activities. The consequences of breaking the law are severe, and our community will not tolerate such behavior. As we continue to work towards a safer future, we must remain vigilant and hold accountable those who would seek to undermine our efforts.
