A young woman who killed an intruder may be heading to prison, even now that authorities have ruled the shooting justified. In December, Krissy Noble shot a man named Dylan Stancoff with her husband's gun when Stancoff forced his way into her Fort Smith, Arkansas, home. Noble was 11 weeks pregnant. The case was sent to the Sebastian County Prosecutor's Office, which determined that the shooting was justified. But Noble still faces felony gun charges because of a previous drug-related conviction. In 2017, Noble pleaded guilty to felony possession of marijuana with intent to deliver as well as possession of drug paraphernalia. (She had been pulled over while riding in a vehicle with friends. Each person in the vehicle received the same charges when no one claimed the items.) She got a five-year suspended sentence, and as part of that was prohibited from either possessing or using firearms. After Stancoff's death, the authorities filed a petition to revoke Noble's suspended sentence. She has since been charged with being a convicted felon in possession of a gun. Yesterday Noble turned herself in, was booked, and was released on a $2,500 bond. Noble gave birth to her son earlier this year. If convicted, she tells ABC News, she could spend a maximum of 24 years in prison. "That's my baby's life," she lamented. "I won't even know my child." Authorities say Krissy Noble was justified in shooting and killing a home intruder while she was pregnant.

If the weapon is legally owned by her husband then there should be no charges. She has a constitutional right of defense even if she doesn’t own the weapon. My spidy sense tells me there is more to the story.
Her past marijuana arrest was probably a felony. Being a convicted felon could prohibit her from possessing a firearm. Even if she claims the gun was her husbands, and she shares the same household he keeps his guns in, she still possessed it when she physically used it. Now... when faced with the choice of being carried by six or judged by 12... I’ll always pick being judged by 12... and she made the better choice. She choose to LIVE... which was smart. Now she can live in prison and face the consequences for her past felonious activity. Unless you’re a weak overly sensitive SNOWFLAKE, that exuses personal responsibilities, then any conservative minded person would expect this female to pay for her current behaviors as they relate legally with her past criminal record. What we do in life, ECHOES for eternity. Only liberals think we can wipe history away (remove statues or forgive past arrest records). Dicktard is a snowflake

I don't seeing "posses or uses" of a firearm as constitutional. Now being a felon I can see not possessing ie owning a firearm but to have the state say you can not defend yourself by any means necessary is just wrong by anyway its cut. If there is nothing more to the story then its over reach by the prosecutor. For some reason I think there is more to the story but I could be wrong.
Too bad she doesn't live in Chicago. Oh, they have the same law. They just don't enforce it. Which is why felons carry guns -- and use them -- in Chicago.
Krissy Noble pleaded guilty to felony possession of marijuana with purpose to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia. She is still serving her five years probation. She violated the terms of her probation. She faces revocation of her probation and a gun possession charge. Noble "allegedly brought a .40 caliber handgun from the apartment bedroom and placed it on the TV stand in the living room prior to answering the door." "Officials during the course of their investigation into the incident found a .20 gauge shotgun, a .22-caliber pistol and a bolt action rifle in Noble and her husband’s closet in addition to the handgun used on Dec. 7. The affidavit for warrant of arrest alleges that between Nov. 7-Dec. 7, 2017, Noble possessed firearms." She carried the handgun from the bedroom to the living room and staged it there before opening the door. Also three more weapons were found. She ignored the terms of her probation regarding possession of a gun. She is toast. - - - - - - - - - - By Max Bryan / Times Record / mbryan@swtimes.com Although the shooting death of Dylan Stancoff has been ruled justified, the woman who shot him has been arrested for possession of the gun she used to shoot him. Krissy Lenae Noble of Fort Smith on Thursday was arrested on suspicion of possession of firearms by certain persons. Noble, a convicted felon initially identified by police as Krissy Tran, used a handgun in December 2017 to shoot Stancoff, who attacked her in her apartment. Stancoff on Dec. 7 visited Noble’s apartment on X Street and asked if her husband was home while identifying himself as Cameron White. He left after she told him he wasn’t home, and her husband told her over the phone he did not know a Cameron White, the release states. Noble, who was convicted in February 2017 of felony possession of marijuana with purpose to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia, allegedly brought a .40 caliber handgun from the apartment bedroom and placed it on the TV stand in the living room prior to answering the door. Noble’s husband told police he told her to leave the gun alone, the release states. Noble picked up the gun and opened the door when Stancoff returned to the apartment. She said he physically attacked her, and that she picked up the gun and shot him three times, the release states. “It is the opinion of this office that Krissy Lenae Noble was justified in her use of force and that this is a justifiable homicide, which does not merit the filing of criminal charges with regard to the homicidal event,” the release states, citing two Arkanstas statutes. Officials during the course of their investigation into the incident found a .20 gauge shotgun, a .22-caliber pistol and a bolt action rifle in Noble and her husband’s closet in addition to the handgun used on Dec. 7. The affidavit for warrant of arrest alleges that between Nov. 7-Dec. 7, 2017, Noble possessed firearms. Noble remained in custody Thursday in lieu of a $2,500 bond, according to arrest records. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Universal Citation: AR Code § 5-73-103 (2015) (a) Except as provided in subsection (d) of this section or unless authorized by and subject to such conditions as prescribed by the Governor, or his or her designee, or the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of the United States Department of Justice, or other bureau or office designated by the United States Department of Justice, no person shall possess or own any firearm who has been: (1) Convicted of a felony; (2) Adjudicated mentally ill; or (3) Committed involuntarily to any mental institution.

Being a convicted felon could prohibit her from possessing a firearm.
