FRESNO - Eric Feldmann, 38, of Fresno, pleaded guilty today to possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute and being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced. 

According to court documents, on Dec. 24, 2023, Feldmann knowingly possessed an MKII hand grenade with a M204A2 Fuze in his car. The grenade was seized by police and destroyed. Feldmann also possessed methamphetamine and several boxes of .223 caliber ammunition. In 2017, Feldmann was convicted in Kings County of possession of a controlled substance for sale and is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition.

Feldmann is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on Oct. 15, 2024. Feldman faces a mandatory minimum of five years to a maximum of 40 years in prison and a fine of up to $5 million for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, and a maximum of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.

However, the actual sentence will be determined at the court's discretion after considering any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which consider several variables.
