United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that a Rapid City, South Dakota, man convicted of Domestic Violence Offender in Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition was sentenced on Jan. 2, 2014, by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court.
Shawn Muldoon, age 30, was sentenced to time served of 1 day and 2 years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Muldoon was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 19, 2013, and he pled guilty to the offense on July 19, 2013.
In July 2012, near Rapid City, Pennington County sheriff’s deputies assisted a vehicle stuck on forest service land. The vehicle was occupied by Muldoon and others. During the vehicle search, investigators located a 9mm handgun and ammunition owned by Muldoon, who is prohibited from possessing firearms due to a 2003 domestic violence conviction.
The investigation was conducted by the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Forest Service. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah B. Collins.
