United States Seventh Circuit

Sentence as an armed career criminal for possession of a firearm by a felon is vacated and remanded where the district court erred in treating defendant's prior conviction for criminal confinement as a conviction for a crime of violence since the record did not disclose that defendant was convicted of a form of criminal confinement that required a finding of force or threat of force.
