Bruce Lamont Walker, Felon in Possession of Ammunition, California 2024

A Vallejo resident has been charged with being a felon in possession of ammunition after a search of his home turned up an illegal firearm and rounds of ammunition.

Bruce Lamont Walker, 53, was indicted on a single-count charge of being a felon in possession of ammunition, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Walker was convicted in 2014 of a domestic violence offense and sentenced to 11 years in prison. He had only been on parole for three months when a parole search resulted in the discovery of an AR-15 style ‘ghost gun’ (privately made without a serial number) in his bedroom, along with an extended magazine containing 27 rounds of ammunition.

Walker is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition on account of seven prior felony convictions, including two felony crimes of violence and multiple firearms-related felonies.

The case is the product of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation – Division of Adult Parole Operations, the Solano County District Attorney’s Office, the Solano County Sheriff’s Office, the Solano County Sheriff’s Enforcement Team, and the FBI’s Solano County Violent Crimes Task Force.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Adrian T. Kinsella is prosecuting the case.

Walker faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.

The charges are only allegations, and Walker is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
