Clinton Darnelle Kaham, a 24-year-old Ocala gang member, is facing serious charges after being arrested by the Ocala Police Department for allegedly possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
According to evidence presented in court, on approximately July 6, 2022, officers from the Ocala Police Department found Kaham in possession of a loaded firearm. The firearm had previously been reported stolen from Marion County.
Kaham has previously been convicted of a felony, possession of heroin in 2021, and is therefore prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition under federal law.
The indictment, which was returned by a federal grand jury on July 11, 2023, charges Kaham with possession of a firearm as a convicted felon. If convicted, Kaham faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence in communities. The program brings together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to make neighborhoods safer for everyone.
Kaham’s arrest and indictment are the result of a collaborative effort between the Ocala Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Hannah Nowalk.
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
