Fayetteville, Arkansas - Duane (DAK) Kees, United States Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, announced that Richard Dale Ingram Jr., age 31, of Fayetteville, was sentenced yesterday to 110 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release and was ordered to pay a $3,900.00 fine on one count of Felon in Possession of a Firearm. The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks presided over the sentencing hearing in the United States District Court in Fayetteville.
According to court records, on March 28, 2018, detectives with the Fourth Judicial Drug Task Force in Washington County, Arkansas conducted a search of the Fayetteville, Arkansas residence of Ingram. Ingram is a convicted felon currently on state supervision with the Arkansas Department of Correction and as such has consented to a search of his residence at any time.
When detectives made entry in Ingram's residence, Ingram attempted to flee out a back window and was apprehended. During their search of the residence, detectives located an Iver Johnson.22 caliber pistol in the toilet tank in the bathroom. Ingram admitted that the firearm belonged to him and that he procured it "on the street".
Ingram was indicted by a federal grand jury in April 2018 and entered a guilty plea in June 2018.
This case was investigated by the 4th Judicial District Drug Task Force. Assistant United States Attorney Denis Dean prosecuted the case for the United States.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program that has been historically successful in bringing together all levels of law enforcement to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
