COVINGTON, Ky. Robert Ramone Poe, 39, a Northern Kentucky man who was convicted of illegally possessing a firearm, was sentenced on Tuesday to 105 months in federal prison, by U.S. District Judge David L. Bunning.
Poe is a convicted felon and, therefore, prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms and ammunition.
In March 2019, Poe was arrested by the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force after a search of his Covington residence uncovered a 9 millimeter handgun in his bedroom, along with cocaine. Poe pleaded guilty to the charge in July 2019.
Under federal law, Poe must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence; and upon his release, he will be under the supervision of the United States Probation Office for three years.
Robert M. Duncan, Jr., United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and Tommy Estevan, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the ATF, jointly announced the sentence.
The investigation was conducted jointly by the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force and ATF. The United States was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer K. Weinhold
