United States Attorney Joe Kelly announced that Mylon
Mayfield, 22, of Omaha, was sentenced today to 21 months in the Bureau of Prisons
for being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm by United States District Judge
Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. He will also
serve 3 years of supervised release following his release from prison. There is no parole in the federal prison
system.
On July 15, 2019, Omaha Police Officers responded within
minutes to a report of shots fired in the Spencer West Housing Projects at
North 28th and Spencer Streets. The
officers came upon suspects matching the description provided by dispatch. Based on answers by Mayfield and his evasive
movements, officers suspected Mayfield was armed and dangerous. Upon their search, officers recovered a
loaded Ruger LCR that Mayfield was concealing and possessing illegally as a
prior felon. At the time of his arrest,
Mayfield was on federal supervised release for transferring a firearm to a
prohibited person. Mayfield was
sentenced to an additional 12 months on his supervised release violation,
resulting in a total sentence of 33 months on both cases.
This case was part of a Project Safe Neighborhood initiative
and investigated by the Omaha Police Department.
