(Arapahoe, WY) – Kilburn Troy Timbana, 39, of Arapahoe, was sentenced to 41 months, with three years of supervised release to follow for being a felon in possession of a firearm, the U.S. Department of Justice recently shared.
According to court documents, on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024, Riverton and Shoshoni Police Departments were dispatched to W. Fremont Street for a male subject sleeping in a pickup parked in front of a residence. When officers arrived, they observed a male sleeping in the driver’s side of the truck with an automatic pistol sitting on the center console next to him.
The officer opened the driver’s door, seized the semi-automatic weapon, cleared the pistol, which had three 3-rounds of hollow point ammunition, and eventually woke the defendant. In his change of plea hearing, he admitted that he knowingly possessed a Smith & Wesson pistol and was a previously convicted felon, which prohibited him from having the weapon.
Timbana was indicted on Nov. 20. 2024 and pleaded guilty on Jan. 21. The Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco and Explosives, the Riverton Police Department, and the Shoshone Police Department investigated the crime.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy W. Gist prosecuted the case. U.S. District Court Judge Kelly H. Rankin imposed the sentence on April 10 in Cheyenne.
