Clifford Earl Jordan, 43, of Phoenix, Ariz., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Steven P. Logan to 87 months in prison for illegally possessing a firearm on the Navajo Nation Indian Reservation. Jordan had previously pleaded guilty to felon in possession of a firearm.
In justifying the increased sentence, Judge Logan noted that Jordan possessed the firearm in connection with a domestic assault against a member of the Navajo Nation Indian Reservation, and he engaged in witness tampering activities designed to cause that victim to recant.
