Troy Joseph Minson, Jr., a convicted felon, has been sentenced to 57 months in federal prison for unlawful possession of a firearm in Springfield, Oregon.
On August 3, 2014, the Springfield Police received a call that Minson was at a local deli with a gun. Officers responded and attempted to take Minson into custody when he pulled away from them, jumped over a counter and dropped a loaded .22 caliber Beretta pistol onto the ground.
A struggle ensued when Minson resisted arrest, but he was eventually apprehended and taken into custody. Minson’s prior felony convictions include burglary in the first degree, delivery of methamphetamine, and eluding police.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Springfield Police, and was prosecuted by Nathan J. Lichvarcik, Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Oregon, along with the assistance of Jefferson County District Attorney Steven Leriche.
On December 6, 2016, U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken sentenced Minson to 57 months in federal prison for the crime. Minson will also be on supervised release for three years following his prison sentence.
Minson, 28, from Madras, Oregon, had outstanding arrest warrants at the time of his arrest.
This sentence brings an end to the case against Minson, who will now face the consequences of his actions.
