Cardell Glover, Felon in Possession, Gun Crimes, Louisiana 2025

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – Cardell Glover, age 24, was sentenced on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, by United States District Judge Darrel J. Papillion, after previously pleading guilty to a three-count indictment.

Glover was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(8), possession of a stolen firearm, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(j) and (a)(2), and possession of a machine gun, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 922(o) and 924(a)(2).

According to court documents, on July 9, 2024, a rideshare driver reported to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office (JPSO) that her weapon had been stolen. She also works as a security guard and had placed her work firearm, a Glock Model 19 Gen 5, nine-millimeter pistol, in her trunk earlier that afternoon prior to starting her rideshare work.

Glover pled guilty to the entire indictment and admitted that he stole the Glock pistol. Glover also admitted that, at the time of its recovery, the Glock pistol, was equipped with machine gun conversion device, making it a machine gun as defined by the National Firearms Act (26 U.S.C. § 5845(b)).

Glover was sentenced to 96 months imprisonment as to each of the three counts of the indictment, to be served concurrently. Judge Papillion also ordered that Glover be placed on supervised release for three years as to each of the three counts, to be served concurrently, and pay a $300 mandatory special assessment fee.

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.

Acting U.S. Attorney Simpson praised the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Sarah Dawkins of the Violent Crime Unit.
