A 23-year-old Oakland man has been sentenced to 36 months in prison for being an alien in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Victor Covian-Perez was sentenced by the Honorable Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, United States District Judge, following his guilty plea to the charge on July 18, 2019.
According to his plea agreement, Covian-Perez admitted to possessing three firearms and numerous rounds of ammunition, including a semi-automatic Springfield Armory XD .45 caliber handgun and two Charter Arms .38 caliber revolvers, on November 29, 2018.
At the time, Covian-Perez was unlawfully and illegally in the United States and not eligible to possess a firearm or ammunition.
Covian-Perez also admitted to selling approximately fifteen additional firearms between June and November 2018 to persons whose possession of a firearm would be illegal.
Assistant United States Attorney Thomas R. Green is prosecuting the case with the assistance of Jessica Rodriguez.
The prosecution is the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
In addition to the prison term, Judge Gonzalez Rogers ordered Covian-Perez to serve a three-year term of supervised release to begin at the conclusion of his prison term.
