Heading: Felon in Possession of Firearm

Text: Finally, Delgado argues that there was insufficient evidence to support his felon in possession of a firearm conviction because there was no documentary evidence adduced at trial that Delgado was a felon. Delgado claims that the only evidence adduced at trial regarding his prior criminal record was the testimony of a police officer who discussed Delgado's prior record as it related to the officer's decision to issue the AMBER Alert. Contrary to Delgado's assertion on appeal, the record does contain documentary evidence of Delgado's prior felony convictions. The record reflects that on January 7, 1985, Delgado was sentenced in Michigan to 10 to 20 years' imprisonment for breaking and entering and 2 to 5 years' imprisonment for larceny in a building. The record also reflects that a weapon was found in his possession at the time of his arrest for the abduction of K.B. Therefore, Delgado's claim that the evidence was insufficient with respect to his weapons charge is without merit.
