A 47-year-old Minneapolis felon was indicted for possessing four firearms in federal court. The indictment alleges that Carl Craig Larson, a convicted felon with a history of violent crimes, was in possession of multiple firearms, including a .357-caliber revolver, a seven-millimeter rifle, and two 12-gauge shotguns.
Larson’s indictment stems from an April 21, 2013, incident, where he was found to be in possession of the aforementioned firearms. As a convicted felon, Larson is prohibited from possessing firearms under federal law.
Larson’s lengthy history of violent crimes has led him to be subject to the federal Armed Career Criminal Act. This act mandates a minimum of 15 years in federal prison for anyone with such a record who is subsequently convicted in federal court for being a felon in possession of a firearm or ammunition.
The case against Larson is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Julie E. Allyn and Sarah E. Hudleston. The investigation into Larson’s firearm possession was conducted by the LeSueur and Waseca county sheriff’s offices, and the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Larson’s previous convictions include second-degree murder, financial transaction card fraud, and burglary. As a result of his convictions, Larson’s sentence will be determined by a federal district court judge.
The indictment is a determination by a grand jury that there is probable cause to believe that offenses have been committed by Larson. It is essential to note that Larson is presumed innocent until he pleads guilty or is proven guilty at trial.
