United States Attorney W. Walter Wilkins stated today that Salvador Garcia-Chavez, age 22, of Mexico, was sentenced to 147 months imprisonment by United States District Judge Henry F. Floyd. He received 87 months for possession of firearms and ammunition as an illegal alien, and 60 months consecutive for possession of firearms in relation to a drug trafficking crime.
Acting on a tip, investigators searched Garcia-Chavez’ residence in Greenville last July. During the search, agents seized ten firearms, assorted ammunition, and approximately one pound of methamphetamine.
The case was investigated by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, and the State Law Enforcement Division. Assistant United States Attorney Leesa Washington of the Greenville office prosecuted the case.
