Description: Lafayette, Louisiana criminal defense lawyer represented Defendant charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Xzavier Dyson, age 23, of Abbeville, Louisiana was indicted by a federal grand jury in April 2021 and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He pleaded guilty to the charge on March 23, 2022.

The case was investigated by the ATF and the Vermillion Parish Sheriff’s Office and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig R. Bordelon.
