Domestic Violence Abuser Sentenced to 10 Years For Unlawful Possession of a Firearm
A convicted domestic violence offender discovered with a firearm was sentenced last week to 10 years in federal prison, the statutory maximum sentence, following an investigation by the ATF Dallas Division, announced U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Erin Nealy Cox.
Desmond Greer, 26, pleaded guilty in March to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Dallas County Court records show that in in 2016, Mr. Greer was twice convicted of Assault Family Violence after repeatedly punching and choking the 22-year-old mother of his children – two offenses that disqualified him from having a gun.
In fact, that law is used quite frequently.
