Charleston, WV – Robert J. Thomas, 30 of St. Albans, stood guilty in court today for being a felon caught with heat—specifically, a Glock Model 27 .40-caliber pistol. Court docs and statements reveal that the Jan 27, 2024 incident took place in Kanawha County’s Jefferson area. Thomas knows the score from his past: a felony conviction for drug dealing got him banned from the gun game. Facing up to 15 years in the slammer and fines north of $250k, Thomas’ July 2026 sentencing date looms large. The ATF, Kanawha Co. Sheriff’s, and South Charleston PD got their man thanks to U.S. Attorney Moore Capito’s Operation Take Back America campaign.
