Montgomery, Alabama – On Wednesday, April 29, 2020, Mitchell Evan Gandy,
a 32-year-old man from Evergreen, Alabama, was sentenced to 48 months in prison
for being a felon in possession of a firearm, announced United States Attorney
Louis V. Franklin, Sr. Following his prison sentence, Gandy will be on
supervised release for three years.
Gandy was
indicted by a federal grand jury in August 2018 on one count of possession of a
firearm by a convicted felon. He pleaded guilty to that charge on January 29,
2020.
According
to court records, on February 14, 2018, a deputy stopped Gandy for speeding
while he was traveling in Covington County. When the deputy approached to speak
to the driver, he detected a strong smell of marijuana coming from inside the
vehicle and asked him to step out of the car. When law enforcement officers
searched the vehicle, they found two handguns— a Glock 9mm and a Zastava
7.62mm. Gandy has multiple felony convictions and is prohibited from possessing
a firearm.
The Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Covington County
Sheriff’s Office investigated this case. Assistant United States Attorney
Joshua Wendell prosecuted this case.
