United States v. Marrero-Perez

BOUDIN, Circuit Judge.

Police officers in Puerto Rico received a tip as to the whereabouts of Josue Marrero-Pérez ("Marrero"), who had left Delaware to evade arrest on an outstanding warrant. Locating him at his premises in Puerto Rico, they discovered in plain view in the building a Glock pistol and a Smith & Wesson semiautomatic pistol, each loaded with ammunition. They arrested him and a grand jury indicted him on two counts of possessing a firearm while prohibited from doing so because of a prior felony conviction, 18 U.S.C. § 922 (g)(1), and because of his fugitive status, id. § 922(g)(2).
