United States Attorney Matthew D. Krueger of the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that on Oct. 12, 2018, a three-count federal indictment was unsealed against Anthony C. Moore (age: 32) of Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
The indictment alleges that Anthony C. Moore possessed methamphetamine with the intent to distribute the controlled substance and did so while in the possession of a firearm, contrary to Title 21, United States Code, Section 841(a) and Title 18, United States Code, Section 924(c). It further alleges that Moore’s status as a convicted felon prohibited him from ever possessing a firearm pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 922(g)(1). Moore faces a mandatory five-year prison sentence and up to a life sentence, if convicted of the charges alleged.
