ALBUQUERQUE - Michael Graham, 43, of Farmington, N.M., was sentenced today in federal court in Albuquerque, N.M., to 46 months in prison for unlawfully possessing a firearm and ammunition. He will be on supervised release for two years after completing his prison sentence.
Graham was charged in an indictment on Aug. 26, 2014, with being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition on Feb. 9, 2014, in San Juan County, N.M. At the time, Graham was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because he had previously been convicted of accessory to bringing contraband into a jail, aggravated assault, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Graham pled guilty to the indictment on July 8, 2015, and admitted that on Feb. 9, 2014, he possessed a loaded pistol with an obliterated serial number in Farmington. Graham also admitted knowing he was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because of his status as a convicted felon.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Farmington Police Department and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Mysliwiec.
