United States of America v. Antwoine Williamson

Cheyenne, Wyoming criminal defense attorney represented defendant charged with felony firearm possession.



Antwoine Williamson, 31, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, was indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

On March 11, 2021, Williamson fired three shots into the air in a residential neighborhood in Cheyenne, during an argument with his girlfriend. Police were dispatched to the incident and arrested Williamson.



"This is a prime example of why it is illegal for felons to possess firearms,” said United States Attorney Bob Murray. "We appreciate the investigative work of the Cheyenne Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation, which aided in a successful conviction.”



Assistant United States Attorney Jonathan C. Coppom prosecuted the case.
