Las Vegas Pair Sentenced in 38-Gun Theft, Sale

Alexis Breanna Worrell, a Las Vegas resident, was sentenced to 30 months in prison and two years of supervised release for stealing and selling 38 firearms from a federally licensed dealer in Overton, Nevada. Both Worrell and her co-defendant, Dennis James Caputo, pleaded guilty to theft of firearms from a licensee and possession of stolen firearms. Caputo broke into the closed store on July 24, 2023, by cutting a hole in the roof and disabling the alarm, while Worrell helped load the stolen guns into their vehicle. From late July to early September 2023, the pair sold at least 20 stolen firearms, with nine later recovered from prohibited persons involved in crime; four guns remain missing. Both have prior drug-related convictions, and the case was investigated by the ATF and Las Vegas police. Worrell's 30-month sentence was less than the government's recommended 108 months.
