Hi,
I hope someone can help give me some insight to a weapon charge question I have. A family member of mine was arrested recently and is being held in jail and will be transported to Arkansas very soon. He was arrested because he was found in possession of a firearm and he is a convicted felon.
He has always escaped punishment because my other family members have bailed him out repeatedly but I think that he might have to serve some time over this. He is a big dummy and I don't think he will learn his lesson on breaking the law unless he has to suffer some consequences from it sometime in his life.
Here's my questions:
Do you think he may have to serve any time in prison for this?
If so, what is a good guess at what we're facing?
He is a repeat offender, but most of his past arrests have been over drug charges/speeding/domestic disturbances. But finding him in possession of a firearm when he has committed a felony in his past is a big thing isn't it??
Thanks in advance for all of your help.
