A Selma resident was sentenced to 33 months in prison for federal firearm charges.
According to U.S. Attorney Richard W. Moore, Teanthony Terrell Lewis, 29, was charged with involvement in the illegal possession of a firearm by his brother, Christopher Reshawn Lewis. He plead guilty to concealing and failing to report Christopher Lewis’ illegal possession of a firearm to appropriate authorities in December, 2018.
Moore said that Christopher Lewis remains a fugitive on the underlying federal gun charges.
In Federal court, U.S. District Court Judge William H. Steele ordered Lewis to seek drug treatment while in prison that he serve a period of one year on supervised release after he completes his sentence. Under supervision, Lewis will be subject to drug testing and treatment. Steele also ordered Lewis pay a special mandatory assessment of $100, but he didn’t impose a fine.
The Selma Police Department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive investigated the case, where it was prosecuted in the U.S. Attorney’s Office by Assistant U.S. Attorney Gloria A. Rockwell.
