Cedar Rapids Man Pleads Guilty to Gun Charges
CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) - A Cedar Rapids man on probation for drug charges has pleaded guilty to federal gun charges after his probation officer spotted him on the social networking site MySpace holding guns.
Twenty-nine-year-old Gamaliet Figueroa pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. Figueroa was on probation for distributing heroin when his probation officer saw pictures of him with a rifle and handgun on MySpace in April 2007. Officers searched his home and found a semi-automatic rifle loaded with 23 rounds of ammunition. A date for sentencing hasn't been set. Figueroa faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He entered his plea last week. More Good Stuff |
