A Bradley County man facing federal weapons and narcotics charges entered a plea to one of the charges during jury selection at his trial on November 27.

Demetrus A. Tibbs Sr., 24, was arrested in January 2006 when detectives from the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office and the Cleveland Police Department executed a search warrant at a home on Trewhitt Road. A firearm was found during a search of the home.

Tibbs pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and faces up to ten years in prison when sentencing is held on February 25, 2008. In the plea agreement the other case would be dismissed.
