Aristeo Ceron-Morales, a 48-year-old man from Sarasota, is indicted on serious federal charges, including illegal possession of firearms and illegal reentry into the United States. If convicted on all counts, Ceron-Morales could face up to 17 years in federal prison. This case takes on added significance due to his history as a convicted felon, including a 2002 sex offense that led to his removal from the country in 2003.
Federal authorities allege that he was discovered with a Sig Sauer P226, a Savage 410 shotgun, and multiple rounds of ammunition.

The prosecution, led by Assistant United States Attorney Abigail K. King, highlights the ongoing efforts of multiple federal agencies working together to address firearm-related offenses in the community.
