A federal grand jury returned an indictment Tuesday against Dominique M. Hope, 23, and Tamara R. Rudd, 23, both of Manitowoc.
Hope faces charges alleging he was a felon in possession of a firearm, possessed marijuana with the intent to distribute and possessed a firearm in furtherance of a drug conspiracy. He faces penalties ranging from a mandatory five years imprisonment up to a life sentence, a $500,000 fine and a lifetime of supervised release.
Rudd allegedly aided and abetted Hope’s possession of a firearm knowing he was a convicted felon. She faces up to 10 years imprisonment, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Manitowoc County MEG Unit, the Manitowoc Police Department and the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office. The case will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel R. Humble.
