Man gets 15 years Eastern District Court for gun, sex offenses
Staff reports
Firearm and sex offenses land a Plano man in the Eastern District of Texas courts this week.
Wayne Edward Bearden, 40, pleaded guilty on Dec. 4, 2019 to being a felon in possession of firearms and to coercion, enticement and aiding and abetting. He was sentenced to a total term of imprisonment of 180 months by U.S. District Judge Amos L. Mazzant this week.
“Today’s sentence takes a dangerous man off the street, and will bring a measure of closure and comfort to those he victimized,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei in a news release. “While this case began as a firearms investigation, due the excellent work of our federal and local law enforcement partners we were able to uncover – and dismantle – a commercial sex trafficking operation.”
