The suspect taken into custody following an October standoff in Mountain View was arraigned Tuesday in federal court on firearms charges.
The Anchorage Police Department identified 26-year-old Eric Nebreja as the man who locked himself in a residence on the 200 block of North Flower Street on Oct. 9. Police were able to apprehend Nebreja after deploying tear gas into the apartment he was hiding in.
According to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Nebreja — who has two prior felony convictions for second-degree assault and third-degree misconduct involving weapons — had a .40-caliber pistol in his possession that day.
Charged with one count of felon in possession of a firearm, Nebeja faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both.
