The Fresno police cadet arrested in 2024 on charges of possessing automatic weapons is expected to enter a new plea on Monday.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office expects 28-year-old Joshua Eric Brown to enter a guilty plea for his illegal weapons charges after being arrested on Sept. 3, 2024, according to a spokesperson with the Department of Justice. He had originally entered a not guilty plea.

A federal judge granted him temporary release until Sept. 30 with location monitoring equipment. He had been in custody since his arrest last year.
