Piggee is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because he has previously been convicted of seven felonies, including armed bank robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The case is the product of an investigation by the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily G. Sauvageau is prosecuting the case.

If convicted, Piggee faces a minimum statutory penalty of seven years in prison, a maximum penalty of life in prison and a $250,000 fine.
