TYROME SAWYER, 30, of Norwalk, Connecticut, has admitted to possessing a loaded rifle with an obliterated serial number, a crime that has landed him a possible 10-year prison sentence.
Pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the court proceeding took place via videoconference on an undisclosed date. TYROME SAWYER, also known as “Tyrone Sawyer” and “Crack,” pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill to unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on April 19, 2019, TYROME SAWYER was arrested after Norwalk Police executed a search warrant at his apartment and located a Hi-Point model 995, 9mm carbine rifle with an obliterated serial number and a loaded magazine.
TYROME SAWYER’s criminal history includes state convictions for felony firearm, drug and escape offenses. It is a violation of federal law for a person previously convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce.
TYROME SAWYER has been detained since his arrest and is scheduled to be sentenced on April 30, 2021. At that time, he faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years.
This investigation is being conducted by the Norwalk Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan Keefe through Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make neighborhoods safer for everyone.
