Description:

Minneapolis, Minnesota criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with illegally possessing a firearm
Twin Cities Felon Sentenced to 55 Months in Prison for Illegal Possession of a Firearm

On October 7, 2022, a Minnesota State Patrol officer stopped Salvador Anthony Pacheco, 46, for multiple traffic violations. During the interaction, the officer smelled marijuana in the car and requested a drug-sniffing dog, which alerted officers to additional drugs in Pacheco’s vehicle. A search of the car and its contents revealed a Kahr .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol inside the defendant’s backpack. Because Pacheco has prior felony convictions, including murder, assault, and weapons violations, he is prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition at any time.

This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the FBI, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and the Minnesota State Patrol.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Campbell Warner prosecuted the case.

Outcome:

Defendant was found guilty and sentenced to 55 months in prison and three years of supervised release
