- Tramaine Keishone Robinson, 22, of Carthage, was sentenced to 37 months in prison.
According to information presented in court, the four were prohibited from possessing firearms under federal law because of prior felony convictions.
Law enforcement encountered the four on separate dates following traffic stops that resulted in the discovery of firearms and, in several instances, other criminal contraband such as controlled substances and distribution paraphernalia.
In addition, some of the individuals were also identified by law enforcement as documented gang members.
