PHOENIX – This
week, Joshua Felkins, of Tuba City, Ariz., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge
Douglas L. Rayes to 42 months of imprisonment, to be followed by three years of
supervised release. Felkins had
previously pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of firearms and
ammunition.
On May 24, 2017,
Navajo tribal law enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted
a search of Felkins’ residence in Tuba City, pursuant to a federal search
warrant. Inside the residence, officers
and agents found two firearms and dozens of rounds of ammunition. At the time of the search, Felkins had
previously been convicted of felony offenses in both California and New
Mexico. Accordingly, he was legally
prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition.
The investigation
in this case was conducted by the Navajo Nation Division of Public Safety and
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The
prosecution was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander Samuels, District
of Arizona, Phoenix.
