Joshua Felix, a 38-year-old Winner, South Dakota man, has been indicted on serious firearm charges. The indictment alleges that Felix is a Prohibited Person in Possession of a Firearm and Possession of Firearm with Obliterated Serial Number.
According to court documents, Felix was indicted by a federal grand jury on January 16, 2013. He appeared before US Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on January 31, 2013 and pled not guilty to the indictment.
The charges carry a maximum penalty of 5 years of custody, a $250,000 fine, or both; 3 years of supervised release; a $100 special assessment; and restitution. Felix is being held on bond pending trial, but a date has not been set.
The investigation into Felix’s alleged crimes is being conducted by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Division. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Maher is prosecuting the case.
It is essential to note that the charges against Felix are merely accusations, and he is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The court proceedings will determine the outcome of this case.
The indictment serves as a stark reminder of the importance of firearms laws and the consequences of violating them. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
