United States v. Evan, No. 11-3460 (6th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseEvans pled guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm (18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2)) and was sentenced to 92 months’ imprisonment. When calculating his base offense level under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, the district court determined that Evans’s 2004 Ohio conviction for trafficking in cocaine was a controlled substance offense and that his 2000 Ohio conviction for knowingly assaulting a police officer was a crime of violence as defined under the Guidelines and applied a four-level enhancement to Evans’s base offense level (U.S.S.G. 2K2.1(a)(2)). The Sixth Circuit affirmed, holding that both of the convictions qualified as predicate offenses.
