United States Attorney Richard W. Moore of the Southern District of Alabama announced that Teanthony Terrell Lewis, 29, of Selma, Alabama, was sentenced today in federal court by United States District Court Judge William H. Steele to a term of 33 months imprisonment for his involvement in the illegal possession of a firearm by his brother, Christopher Reshawn Lewis. Christopher Lewis remains a fugitive on the underlying federal gun charges. Teanthony Terrell Lewis pled guilty to concealing and failing to report Christopher Lewis’ illegal possession of a firearm to appropriate authorities in December of 2018.
In federal court in Mobile this morning, Judge Steele ordered that Lewis undergo drug treatment while he is in prison, that that he serve a period of one year on supervised release when he completes his sentence. During that supervision, he will also be subject to drug testing and treatment. Judge Steele ordered that Lewis pay a special mandatory assessment of $100 but did not impose a fine.
The case was investigated by the Selma Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It was prosecuted in the United States Attorney’s Office by Assistant United States Attorney Gloria A. Bedwell.
