A man wanted by federal authorities turned himself in to county deputies in Rock Springs April 12.
Sweetwater County Undersheriff Craig Jackson said Tyler James Burris, 25, surrendered to Corporal Matt Bartolotta and Deputy Sheriff Steve Powell outside Kelly’s Hitching Post on Yellowstone Road around 3:00 AM on the 12th.
An arrest warrant issued by the United States District Court in Cheyenne charges Burris with Unlawful User of a Controlled Substance in Possession of a Firearm and Failure to Appear for Trial on that charge.
The possible penalties upon conviction on both counts total a maximum of 15 years imprisonment and a $500,000 fine.
Burris remains in custody at the Sweetwater County Detention Center pending transport by the U.S. Marshals Service.
