The following press release was submitted the the United States Department of Justice, United States Attorney's Office Southern District of Alabama:
MOBILE, AL – In late October 2025, a Mobile man was sentenced to 48 months in prison for
illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
According to court documents, Lorenzo Robert Warren, 41, was arrested by Mobile Police
Department narcotics investigators during the execution of a search warrant at a house in Mobile on
April 4, 2023. When officers arrived to execute the warrant, they found Warren in the backyard area
of the house. Agents searched Warren’s pickup truck, which was parked nearby the house. Agents
found a loaded and stolen 9mm pistol lying on the front seat of Warren’s truck. In an ashtray of the
truck near the pistol, agents also located and seized a baggie containing crack cocaine. At the time
Warren possessed the pistol, he previously had been convicted of several felony drug-distribution
crimes. Warren’s convictions rendered his possession of the pistol illegal under federal law.
In addition to the 48-month prison term, Chief U.S. District Judge Jeffrey U. Beaverstock ordered
Warren to serve a three-year term of supervised release upon his release from prison, during which
time he will be subject to drug testing and treatment. The court did not impose a fine, but Chief
Judge Beaverstock ordered Warren to pay $100 in special assessments.
U.S. Attorney Sean P. Costello of the Southern District of Alabama made the announcement.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration,
and the Mobile Police Department investigated the case.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Roller prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full
resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total
elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities
from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and
resources from the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and
Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).
