San Antonio man who took plea deal over Jan. 6 riot now found guilty of federal firearms charge
A San Antonio man who this month pleaded guilty to a federal charge related to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection was also found guilty Monday of a federal firearm violation, KSAT reports.
U.S. District Court Judge Fred Biery in San Antonio found Chance Anthony Uptmore, 25, guilty of one count of being an unlawful user of a controlled substance in possession of a firearm, according to the TV station. That charge carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
FBI agents executed a search warrant at Uptmore's residence in early 2021 related to the Capitol siege and discovered a loaded .38 revolver along with a stockpile of marijuana and cannabis products, KSAT reports, citing court documents and trial evidence.
Uptmore was in possession of 13 pounds of marijuana, 1.8 pounds of THC edibles and 1.2 pounds of THC waxes, dabs and oils, along with a third of a pound of psilocybin mushrooms, according to KSAT. In video statements used as trial evidence, the defendant described himself as a “weedaholic” who smoked pot multiple times per day.
