During his sentencing, prosecutors argued for a 70-month sentence given his history assaulting women and domestic violence convictions, the DOJ said.
DALLAS — A 26-year-old Dallas man with three prior domestic violence convictions was sentenced to 70 months in federal prison for illegally possessing a firearm as a felon, federal officials announced Tuesday.
Thomas Keithlun Brown pleaded guilty to a possession of a firearm by a convicted felon charge in September 2024. Brown was sentenced last week to 70 months in federal prison, the DOJ said.
During Brown’s sentencing, prosecutors argued for a 70-month sentence given his history assaulting women and domestic violence convictions, the DOJ said.
This case is part of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas’s Domestic Violence Initiative., which is aimed at keeping firearms out of the hands of domestic abusers by using the tools of federal prosecution.
“History shows that gun violence and domestic violence are intertwined, and that offenders with domestic violence in their past pose a remarkably high risk of homicide,” DOJ officials said in a press release.
