Armed Career Criminal Sentenced to 15 Years in Federal Prison After Conviction for Being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm (DOJ)

LITTLE ROCK-Corbin Vincent, a multi-convicted felon, will spend the next 180 months in federal prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Jonathan D. Ross, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, announced the sentence which was handed down today by United States District Judge Lee P. Rudofsky.

On November 4, 2025, a federal grand jury indicted Vincent, 37, of Hot Springs, in a one-count Superseding Indictment for being a felon in possession of a firearm. After a two-day jury trial, Vincent was found guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Judge Rudofsky also sentenced Vincent to serve three years' supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

During the jury trial, it was revealed that agents in the Intensive Supervision Program received a photograph that was a screenshot from a social media platform showing Vincent, who was on active parole, displaying a firearm. When Vincent arrived at his appointment at his parole office, agents detained him and conducted a search of his person and his vehicle. During a search of Vincent's vehicle, agents located in the backseat a backpack containing Vincent's identification card and a Taurus G2C .40 caliber firearm with one round in the chamber and equipped with a magazine loaded with 10 rounds of ammunition. Vincent admitted to agents that the firearm belonged to him and that he had purchased it from a friend for approximately $200 because he needed to protect himself.

Vincent has at least three prior convictions for violent felonies and is therefore classified as an armed career criminal and qualifies for an enhanced sentence. His criminal history includes state felony convictions for possession of firearms by certain persons and four robberies that occurred within a span of one week in 2007.

This case was investigated by the ATF with assistance from the North Little Rock Police Department and the Division of Community Correction. This case was prosecuted by First Assistant United States Attorney Michael Gordon and Assistant United States Attorney Stacy Williams.
