Several individuals have been sentenced in the District of Wyoming for federal offenses, according to recent announcements from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Randall Thomas Bailey, 65, of Cody, Wyoming, received a sentence of 51 months in prison and three years of supervised release for possession of a firearm by a person subject to a court order and possession of an unregistered firearm. In November 2024, officers from the Cody Police Department discovered suspected pipe bombs while executing a state search warrant at Bailey’s residence. Law enforcement found 28 illegally possessed firearms including a machinegun, a silencer, and two functional pipe bombs. The Cody Police Department, Park County Sheriff’s Office, Natrona County Sheriff’s Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Paige Hammer prosecuted the case. The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Court Judge Scott W. Skavdahl on January 15 in Casper.
Saul Andrew Garcia, 26, of Irwin, Idaho, was sentenced to 120 months in prison with five years of supervised release for conspiracy to distribute cocaine and three counts of distribution of cocaine. Authorities began investigating Garcia and others in November 2023 after learning they were responsible for trafficking multiple pounds of cocaine from Phoenix, Arizona to counties in Wyoming and Idaho. The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) Southwest Enforcement Team and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) led the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Z. Seth Griswold prosecuted the case before U.S. District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson on January 15 in Cheyenne.
Ivan Jorge Lucero-Lazalde, 40, of Juarez, Mexico was sentenced to time served plus ten days to allow for deportation proceedings after being convicted for illegal re-entry into the United States following prior removal. On February 17, 2024 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) located him at Albany County Jail but he bonded out before ICE could take custody; he was later arrested on November 9, 2025. Fingerprints confirmed he had previously been removed from the country in 2006 without applying for permission to reenter. ICE investigated this case; Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron J. Cook prosecuted it before Judge Skavdahl on January 8 in Casper.
Orlin Yobani Mejia-Cabellero, 35, from Departamento de Copan in Honduras received a ten-month prison sentence for illegal re-entry into the United States after multiple removals over several years—specifically in 2008, 2010, 2013 and 2018—without seeking lawful permission to return. Deportation proceedings will begin upon his release from prison; ICE also investigated this case with prosecution by Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron J. Cook before Judge Skavdahl on January 8.
