Montgomery, ALABAMA – On September 9, 2024, a federal judge sentenced Aubrey Keith Bryant, 29, from Enterprise, Alabama, to 48 months in prison for possessing stolen firearms. The announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney Kevin P. Davidson. Following his prison term, Bryant will be on supervised release for three years. There is no parole in the federal system.
According to Bryant’s plea agreement and other court records, on March 12, 2022, law enforcement in Troy, Alabama observed Bryant driving a truck recklessly and initiated a traffic stop. During the stop, officers discovered that Bryant’s driver’s license had been revoked. When Bryant exited the vehicle officers saw a bag of suspected methamphetamine and a handgun in plain view. Investigators searched the vehicle and found a total of ten guns, a suppressor for a firearm, and a checkbook containing checks in another individual’s name. Further investigation revealed that these items had been stolen from a storage unit in Enterprise. On May 2, 2024, Bryant pleaded guilty to possession of the stolen firearms in federal court.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Troy Police Department investigated this case with assistance from the Enterprise Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Eric M. Counts prosecuted the case.
