United States of America v. Noah Jackson
Case Number: 8:23-CR-399
Judge: Amy Berman Jackson
Court: The United States District Court for the District of Columbia (Washington County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: The United States Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C.
Defendant's Attorney:
Description: Washington, D.C. criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with Illegal Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition
D.C. Felon Sentenced to 32 Months for Illegal Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition
Noah Jackson, age 23, pleaded guilty on November 17, 2023, to unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon before U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson. In addition to the prison term, Judge Berman Jackson ordered the defendant to serve three years of supervised release.
On August 17, 2022, Jackson was a passenger in an SUV when the vehicle failed to stop at two consecutive stop signs in Northwest. MPD officers in an unmarked cruiser initiated a traffic stop on the 900 block of Spring Road, NW. Officers conducted a pat down of the two occupants and searched the passenger compartment. Under the passenger’s seat where Jackson had been sitting, police discovered a Glock 23 .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun on the floorboard under the seat. The weapon had a large capacity magazine, one round in the chamber, and 19 rounds in a 22-round capacity magazine. In addition, the firearm had been outfitted with a visible Glock “giggle switch,” which rendered the gun fully automatic. Jackson knew the switch converted the weapon into a machine gun. Jackson previously had rapped about having such a switch in several videos he had posted to YouTube.
Jackson previously was convicted in April 2018 in D.C. Superior Court on felony charges of assault with significant bodily injury, attempted robbery, and carrying a pistol without a weapon.
This case was investigated by the MPD and ATF and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared English of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, and former AUSAs Anna Forgie and Connor Mullin.
Outcome:
Defendant was found guilty and sentenced to 32 months in prison and serve three years of supervised release.
