Natchez Man Pleads Guilty under Project EJECT
to Possessing a Firearm while under Felony Indictment
Natchez, Miss. – Tywone Noble, 23, of Natchez, pled guilty today before Senior U.S. District Judge David C. Bramlette, III to possession of a firearm while under a felony indictment, announced U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst and Dana Nichols, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
On January 22, 2018, Tywone Noble was indicted by an Adams County Grand Jury on felony charges. While Noble was still under that indictment, on November 19, 2018, probation agents with the Mississippi Department of Corrections were conducting home visits in the area of Beaumont Street and observed four men standing in front of a house. As they approached, the agents observed one of the men, Noble, holding an assault rifle. On April 16, 2019, Noble was charged in a federal indictment with possessing a firearm while under felony indictment.
Noble will be sentenced on October 1, 2019 by Judge Bramlette and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Bert Carraway.
This case is part of Project EJECT, an initiative by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Mississippi under the U.S. Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN). EJECT is a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach to fighting and reducing violent crime through prosecution, prevention, re-entry and awareness. EJECT stands for “Empower Justice Expel Crime Together.” PSN is bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions reinvigorated PSN in 2017 as part of the Department’s renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement and the local community to develop effective, locally-based strategies to reduce violent crime.
