He’s been convicted of felonies three times in the past; once in Smith County, Texas, and twice in Arkansas.\u00a0<\/p>\n If convicted of the federal firearms charges, Dennis faces up to life in prison.<\/p>\n Texas Blue Alert suspect <\/p>\n The backstory:<\/p>\n Dennis is believed to have shot a Jacksonville Police Department officer around 4:41 p.m. on Nov. 4.
