Milwaukee Felon in Possession of a Firearm Sentence: Case Outcomes
Holloway’s reported five years in prison plus three years of extended supervision follow burglary and felon-possession pleas without a count allocation. Words is retained only as a correction to the 2020 news report: the court identifies possession by an adjudicated delinquent, not a convicted-felon count. His separately allocated firearm sentence therefore is not included as a felon-possession example or range endpoint. These are Wisconsin state records, not federal firearm sentencing.
This page does not assert two qualifying completed felon-possession clusters. Holloway is one target-offense reporting candidate; precise municipal qualification and complete later-outcome checks remain open. Words’s related firearm category is context explaining an exclusion, not a second qualifying case.
Observed Outcomes
| Case | Reported conduct location and limits | Imposed sentence and target-count limit | Sentence scope | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Devon E. Words — excluded from felon-possession comparison | 3100 block of North 92nd Street, Milwaukee, in the court’s account | Firearm: 3 years initial confinement + 3 years extended supervision, concurrent with homicide’s 13 + 7 years. | Adjudicated-delinquent possession, not convicted-felon possession. Judgment and sentence reinstated in 2024. | Court decision, paragraph 16 |
| Daryl Holloway | Home near 70th and Hampton, Milwaukee | 5 years in prison and 3 years extended supervision; sentenced June 4, 2018 following no-contest pleas. | Aggregate burglary and firearm outcome, not an isolated firearm term. | Sentencing source |
Why Words Is Not a Felon-Possession Example
The June 18, 2024 decision in State v. Words, 2022AP1832-CR / 2018CF3372, paragraphs 2 and 16, identifies the March 21, 2018 offense point and correct firearm category. Its evenly divided six-year firearm sentence means three years confinement and three years supervision, concurrent with the separate homicide term. Paragraphs 26 and 36 distinguish the 2022 new-trial order from the appellate reversal of that order: both convictions and the sentence were reinstated, not newly vacated in 2024. The December 10, 2024 Supreme Court order denied review; it is not another sentencing outcome.
Holloway’s Reported Combined Outcome
The June 5, 2018 report places sentencing on Monday, June 4: five years in prison plus three years supervision following April no-contest pleas to burglary and possession by a person convicted of a felony. It describes the burglary home near 70th/Hampton, but does not allocate the sentence between counts. A similarly named 2007 prison-disciplinary appeal is not matched to this 2017 burglary prosecution.
Wisconsin initial confinement and extended supervision are separate components. A total sentence is not automatically a prison term. Older parole-based judgments also require their own terminology rather than a conversion into modern supervision components.
Scope and Limits
The Wisconsin State Law Library elements guide provides legal terminology and warns that its compilation may not be current. Consult the applicable law and judgment for a particular case; this page does not state a statutory sentencing range.
These selected reports are not all Milwaukee cases, an average or a prediction. A report naming a street or Milwaukee does not by itself complete independent municipal-point verification. Imposed prison terms, extended supervision and credit for custody are separate; they do not establish actual time served or a release date.
The relevant sentencing, disposition and incident passages were reviewed September 28, 2026 UTC (September 29 in Istanbul). Reported locations are distinguished from independent municipal-boundary certification. Historical statutory routes and complete later-docket review remain open; focused name/court searches are not exhaustive clearance. No observed minimum/maximum is calculated.
