Obuatawan Leon Holt, also known as “Bone,” has been sentenced to 46 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for possessing firearms as a felon, announced United States Attorney Andrew M. Luger.

According to court documents, on November 16, 2021, approximately three months after Holt’s prior term of federal supervised release expired, officers with the Minneapolis Police Department searched Holt’s residence in connection with a firearms investigation. Holt, 48, who is a known member and associate of the Minneapolis Bloods street gang, was found in possession of four firearms: two Smith & Wesson semi-automatic pistols, one CZ Arms semi-automatic pistol, and one Rock Armory semi-automatic pistol. Because Holt has multiple prior felony convictions, including a federal drug trafficking conviction, he is prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition at any time.

On February 29, 2024, Holt pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm as a felon. He was sentenced yesterday in U.S. District Court by Judge Susan Richard Nelson.

This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Minnesota Department of Corrections, and the Minneapolis Police Department.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Esther Soria Mignanelli and Kristian C. Weir prosecuted the case.
