Felon Sentenced for Possessing Stolen Firearm

A 21-year-old man from Evanston, Wyoming has been sentenced for his role in a gun crime. Stetson Lane Pierce was sentenced by Chief Federal District Court Judge Scott W. Skavdahl on September 25, 2018, to 41 months of imprisonment, to be followed by 36 months of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $400.00 fine and a $200.00 special assessment.

Pierce was arrested in Uinta County, Wyoming for possession of a stolen firearm and being a felon in possession of a firearm. The Evanston Police Department, West Jordan Utah Police Department, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated this case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. Attorney General Jeff Sessions reinvigorated PSN in 2017 as part of the Department’s renewed focus on targeting violent criminals.

Pierce’s sentencing is a significant step forward in the fight against gun crime in Wyoming. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
