Felon In Possession Of A Gun Sentenced In Federal Court

During July of 2023, David Alexander Brown, age 28, was stopped by a Baldwin County Sheriff’s deputy for a traffic violation, including no tag displayed on the vehicle as required by law. Brown, the driver, and his two passengers displayed extreme nervousness while the deputy spoke to Brown about the violation and Brown admitted that he had a pistol on his hip. The deputy seized to gun, and Brown consented to a search of the vehicle. The deputy also found 4 grams of marijuana, 8.2 grams of methamphetamine and a glass pipe used to ingest drugs. Subsequent investigation established that Brown was under federal supervision for a prior federal conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm from 2017. Court documents establish that Brown’s supervised release term was revoked in October of 2023. Brown was ordered to serve 18 months imprisonment for the violation of his conditions of supervision, to be followed by 18 months of additional supervision.

Judge Moorer imposed the 42-month sentence on this new conviction and ordered that Brown serve another five-year term of supervision following his release from imprisonment. As conditions of supervision, Brown will also undergo testing and treatment for drug and/or alcohol abuse and mental health treatment. He will also be subject to a search of his person and premises upon reasonable suspicion. No fine was imposed but the judge ordered that Brown pay $100 in special assessments. The firearm used in the commission of the offense was ordered forfeited to the United States.

The case was investigated by the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gloria Bedwell prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.

Outcome:

Defendant was found guilty and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment to be followed by 18 months of additional supervision
