Description: Cheyenne, Wyoming criminal defense lawyer represented Defendant charged with receiving ammunition while under a felony indictment.

Christopher Ray Edwards, age 37, of Rock Hill, South Carolina, was charged with being a felon in possession of ammunition, possession of firearm not registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record and receiving ammunition while under a felony indictment. As part of a plea agreement, Edwards pleaded guilty to the receiving-ammunition charge.

On June 4, 2022, Wyoming Highway Patrol pulled over Christopher Edwards while he was driving on Interstate 80 in Albany County for suspicion of driving under the influence. Troopers searched the vehicle and discovered a homemade AR-15 style rifle and multiple rounds of various ammunition. A subsequent criminal history check revealed that Edwards had several prior felony convictions and was under indictment in South Carolina for another felony.

This crime was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Wyoming Highway Patrol. Assistant United States Attorney T.J. Forwood prosecuted the case.

Outcome: Defendant was sentenced to months’ imprisonment with three years of supervised release and a $100 special assessment.
