Brooklyn Park Man Sentenced to 71 Months as a Felon in Possession of a Firearm
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota announced on November 5, 2026, that Antonio Depries Arnold, 34, of Brooklyn Park, in Hennepin County, Minnesota, was sentenced to 71 months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Arnold was sentenced before U.S. District Judge Laura M. Provinzino, and he had previously pleaded guilty on April 9, 2026. U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen made the announcement.
According to court documents, in January 2025, law enforcement began investigating Arnold after his name was found as a contact in a phone that was part of an ongoing narcotics investigation.
Agents began surveilling Arnold in February 2025. When they observed him getting out of his vehicle, they conducted a swab of the driver's door, and it tested positive for morphine. Agents also swabbed several items recovered from Arnold's trash on April 15, 2025, and the items tested positive for morphine, cocaine, and oxycodone.
On April 21, 2025, agents executed a search warrant at Arnold's residence. As they approached, agents saw the defendant outside his residence, told him to get on the ground, and took him into custody. On the ground several feet away from the defendant, agents located a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol. The defendant admitted to officers that the pistol belonged to him. The Justice Department said Arnold had been convicted of at least one crime and knew that possessing a firearm violated the law.
A search of the residence also revealed three additional firearms and ammunition, as well as approximately 135 grams of cocaine, 6.6 grams of fentanyl, and 0.46 grams of methamphetamine.
The case was investigated by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew A. Stone prosecuted the case. (Source: U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota)
