EVANSVILLE, INDIANA – Casey White, 38, of Florence, Alabama, has been indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm and a fugitive in possession of a firearm, according to a federal grand jury in Evansville.
The indictment charges White with two counts: being a felon in possession of a firearm and a fugitive in possession of a firearm. If convicted, White faces up to ten years in federal prison on each count.
According to court documents, White escaped from jail in Lauderdale County, Alabama on April 29, 2022. He allegedly possessed five firearms in Evansville, Indiana on May 9, 2022, including four handguns and an AR15 rifle. White was legally prohibited from possessing firearms because he was a fugitive from justice and due to his 2019 felony convictions for attempted murder and kidnapping in Limestone County, Alabama.
White is currently detained in the custody of Alabama authorities on other charges and will make his initial appearance in the Southern District of Indiana at a later date. The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with the U.S. Marshals Service and the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office providing valuable assistance.
U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Myers thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Lauren Wheatley who is prosecuting this case.
An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
