Albuquerque Man Sentenced for Gun Charges
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Stephen Tyler Dawe, 38, of Albuquerque, N.M., was sentenced to 60 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition.
Dawe was arrested on October 7, 2014, on a criminal complaint alleging that he unlawfully possessed an unregistered firearm and ammunition on September 28, 2014, in Bernalillo County, N.M.
The indictment charged Dawe with unlawfully possessing a single shot 12 gauge weapon made from a shotgun and multiple rounds of ammunition.

Dawe also admitted that the firearm was loaded with ammunition and that he was carrying additional ammunition.
This case was investigated by the Albuquerque office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Albuquerque Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Mysliwiec prosecuted the case.
Dawe’s sentence is a reminder that being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition can result in severe consequences. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and local law enforcement agencies continue to work together to combat gun violence and keep our communities safe.
