Convicted Felon Sentenced to Over Six Years in Prison for Unlawful Ammunition Possession
Bryan Jermaine Davis, a 37-year-old Jacksonville man, has been sentenced to six years and five months in federal prison for possessing ammunition as a convicted felon. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Corrigan on December 3, 2024.
According to court documents, on July 5, 2024, an officer with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop after seeing that Davis was not wearing a seatbelt. During questioning, Davis admitted to having marijuana in his possession. The officer conducted a search of Davis’s vehicle and recovered a bag containing assorted rounds of ammunition and a ghost gun under the driver’s seat. Ghost guns are firearms that have no serial number and are, therefore, often untraceable. When the officer found the ammunition and firearm, Davis attempted to flee on foot but was caught and detained by officers who had responded to the scene.
At the time, Davis had multiple prior felony convictions, including robbery, selling heroin, possession of cocaine, dealing in stolen property, and possession of a weapon by a state prisoner. As a convicted felon, Davis is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition under federal law.
This case was investigated by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Brenna Falzetta.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
On May 26, 2021, the government launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
