Dear Mr. Neighbors:
Now that all litigation in United States v. Carrie Neighbors is concluded and the case against yourself has been dismissed, the government is able to return to you certain property seized during the search warrants. As I mentioned in documents filed with the Comi, you are not entitled to receive any property that was stolen, or that constitutes illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia. I have attached a copy of the Lawrence Police Department's inventory of the items being held. Property that is highlighted in blue may be returned to you. Property that is highlighted in yellow is contraband and property highlighted in green is stolen property. Stolen property or contraband will not be returned to you.
Further, some of the items that may be returned are firearms or ammunition. It is a violation of federal and state law for certain persons, including those who are an unlawful user of a controlled substance, to possess a firearm. Ifyou are still unlawfully using marijuana or another controlled substance, you are an unlawful user of a controlled substance and it is a violation of both federal and state law for you to receive or possess a firearm or ammunition.Likewise, if you fit any of the other categories of prohibited person under federal or state law, it is illegal for you to possess or receive a firearm or ammunition.
Ifyou have any questions regarding your ability to lawfully receive or possess a firearm, you need to consult an attorney. The offer to return any firearm or ammunition does not necessarily give you the lawful ability to possess the firearm or ammunition, and if you are determined to be prohibited person, you may be subject to criminal prosecution in federal and/or state court.

Ifyou choose to allow a third party to pick up and dispose of any firearm or ammunition, you will need to provide the Police Department consent to transfer the items to a third party who is not a prohibited person.
