ALBANY – An Americus resident prohibited from having a firearm because of past criminal convictions was sentenced to serve more than seven years in prison for illegally possessing a gun when he was arrested for stealing rifles from the local Walmart. He traded the guns in the community for cash and drugs.
Brandon Michael Hatfield, 31, was sentenced to serve 85 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release by U.S. District Judge Louis Sands on Sept. 28 after he previously pleaded guilty to illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon on May 25. Hatfield is not eligible for parole.
