MOBILE, AL – A Mobile man was sentenced in late October 2025 to 27 months in prison for possessing a firearm as a previously convicted felon. 

According to court documents, on April 19, 2025, a Mobile County Sheriff’s Office Deputy initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle for an expired license plate.  After the vehicle came to a stop the driver, later identified as Teague, exited the vehicle.  The Deputy instructed Teague to return to his vehicle, but he ignored the commands. Teague was detained and the Deputy conducted a cursory search of Teague for officer safety and discovered a firearm inside of his waistband. Following his arrest, a search of the vehicle revealed 429 various rounds of ammunition. Teague has several prior felony convictions and is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition.

Teague was ordered to a 3-year supervised release term upon release from incarceration and must pay a $100 special assessment.
