Firearm Offenses

Donald Joseph Bordelon, 33, with no known address, was sentenced to 10 months' imprisonment with three years of supervised release to follow for being a felon in possession of a firearm. According to court documents, on Aug. 9, 2025, a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) officer encountered Bordelon beside a disabled vehicle on the Wind River Indian Reservation, and observed what appeared to be the imprint of a concealed firearm at Bordelon's waist under his clothing. The officer learned Bordelon was prohibited from possessing firearms due to prior felony convictions. The vehicle also bore improper license plates. The officer contacted the Wyoming Highway Patrol (WHP) because Bordelon was a non-Indian. The WHP responded and searched the vehicle, locating a loaded 9mm pistol, a spent shell casing, and a gun safe containing firearms magazines. The BIA and the WHP investigated the crime. Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy W. Gist prosecuted the case. Bordelon was indicted on Sept. 16, 2025, and pleaded guilty on Feb 3. 2026. U.S. District Court Judge Scott W.
