U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced that Travis Jordan, 39, a resident of Orleans Parish, was sentenced on January 17, 2025 for being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(8).
Specifically, Jordan was sentenced to 21 months’ imprisonment, followed by a three-year term of supervised release and a mandatory special assessment fee of $100.00.
According to court documents, on February 18, 2024, Jordan was denied entry into the Saint Bar in Orleans Parish due to his intoxication.
In response, Jordan instigated an altercation with an employee and a firearm fell from his waistband.
As Jordan reached for the firearm, other employees, who witnessed the altercation, seized and secured the firearm. They then restrained Jordan until the police arrived.
This case is being prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centrepiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts.
PSN is an evidence-based program that has been proven to be effective in reducing violent crime.
