LAFAYETTE – United States Attorney Brandon B. Brown announced that Brennan James Comeaux, 50, of New Iberia, was sentenced to 24 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.

He was sentenced by United States District Judge David C. Joseph for possession of silencers that were not registered by him in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. 

According to information introduced in court, on or about June 2, 2022, Comeaux knowingly possessed numerous silencers and silencer parts, including two silver and three black completed firearm silencers. Law enforcement agents recovered these silencers pursuant to a search warrant that was executed at Comeaux’s residence. Agents also found multiple firearm manuals explaining how to modify and assemble firearms and silencers. Comeaux pleaded guilty to the charge on Feb. 6, 2024.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Casey Richmond.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. To learn more about Project Safe Neighborhoods, go to www.justice.gov/psn.
