THE sentencing of a man who pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him for being a felon in possession of a firearm has been re-scheduled for April.
Joseph J.F. Reyes’s case is originally set for sentencing tomorrow at 9 a.m. but a stipulation signed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and his lawyer, Richard Arens, stated that the court proceeding will be continued for three months.
Reyes, 30, was convicted in the Superior Court of Guam in 1996 for five counts of forgery and assault.
On July 2, 2006, Reyes possessed a Glock .45 caliber handgun he bought from off-island.
Reyes entered a plea agreement on Sept. 27, 2006 and agreed to cooperate with federal law enforcement agents concerning their investigation of illegal firearms and related unlawful activities.
The maximum sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm is incarceration for 10 years and a $250,000 fine with a supervised release of not more than three years.
The incarceration could reach 12 years if the offender violates his condition of supervised release.
