Madison, Wis.– John W. Vaudreuil, United
States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Joshua
Allen Schaaf, 26, Mazomanie, Wis., was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge
William M. Conley to six and one-half years in prison, without parole, for the
possession of firearms by a felon. Schaaf pleaded guilty to this charge on
April 12, 2012.
On October 13, 2011, the residence the
defendant was sharing with his girlfriend in Middleton, Wisconsin, was searched
by law enforcement as part of a separate investigation. Among other things,
officers located a locked safe in the defendant's bedroom containing three
firearms: a .38 caliber revolver and two .380 caliber pistols. One of the
firearms had been stolen from a security company in Alabama. The defendant had
three prior state felony convictions and was on extended supervised release
from the Dane County Circuit Court at the time of the instant offense.
The charges against Schaaf were the
result of an investigation conducted by the Dane County Sheriff's Office and
ATF. The prosecution of the case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney
Peter M. Jarosz.
