Green pleaded guilty to violating 18 U.S.C. ยง 922(g)(1), which prohibits individuals with felony convictions from possessing firearms. The offense occurred on June 12, 2024, according to court documents. Green was represented by attorney Jonathan Darrell Hyatt throughout the proceedings.
Judge Kernodle ordered the 46-month prison term to run concurrently with any future sentence Green may receive in a pending state court case in Smith County, Texas. The judge also recommended that the Bureau of Prisons provide Green with "appropriate mental health and drug treatment" during his incarceration.
The case proceeded through the Eastern District of Texas after Green's arrest on the federal firearms charge. Green entered his guilty plea to the single count in the indictment, avoiding a trial on the felon-in-possession charge.
Upon release from prison, Green will serve three years of supervised release with several special conditions, including mandatory substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, and obtaining a high school equivalency certificate. He must also pay a $100 special assessment fee. The sentence reflects the federal government's continued focus on prosecuting prohibited persons who illegally possess firearms.
