The incident occurred when Ohio County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a vehicle stopped on the side of Interstate 70 with its hazard lights activated. Upon investigation, deputies found Faulkner inside the vehicle with a 9mm pistol. Court documents indicate that Faulkner is barred from possessing firearms due to previous convictions for drug and assault offenses. Faulkner faces a potential sentence of up to 15 years in federal prison. The determination of any sentence will be made by a federal district court judge, who will consider the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other relevant legal factors. The prosecution of this case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Clayton Reid. The investigation was a collaborative effort between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and the Ohio County Sheriff’s Office, with U.S. Magistrate Judge James P. Mazzone presiding over the proceedings.
