Acting United States Attorney Steve Butler of the Southern District of Alabama announced that Jhordis Deshon Woods, 34, of Mobile, was sentenced today to 92 months in prison for being a felon in possession of two firearms. United States District Judge Kristi K. DuBose also sentenced Woods to five years of supervised release following his prison sentence.

 

In December of 2016, Woods pled guilty to possession of two firearms after having been convicted of several felonies. Woods had previously been convicted of two counts of Robbery 1^st, Theft of Property 1^st, Possession of Marijuana 1^st, and Possession/Receipt of a Controlled Substance, in addition to numerous misdemeanor offenses. The charge arose from an investigation by the Mobile Police Department Narcotics and Vice Unit, which arranged four controlled buys of marijuana from Woods in May of 2016. A search warrant was obtained for Woods’s apartment, where police recovered two semiautomatic pistols, marijuana, and cash.

 

The case was investigated by the Mobile Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant United States Attorney Sean P. Costello prosecuted the case for the United States.
