Stockton, CA – A federal grand jury has returned an indictment against 37-year-old Steven Domingo, charging him with being a felon in possession of a firearm, Acting U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.

According to court documents, Domingo was on federal probation at the time of the offense. The weapon he is accused of possessing is a Fabrique Nationale (FN) Herstal FNS-40, a .40-caliber semi-automatic handgun.

Domingo has a history of conviction for several felonies and faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted. Any sentence, however, would be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.

The charges are only allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This case is the product of an investigation by the Stockton Police Department, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael W. Redding is prosecuting the case, which is also a collaboration with Operation Ceasefire.
