Felons Caught

PHILADELPHIA – In a shocking turn of events, Nafis Mullins, a 26-year-old Philadelphia man, has been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

According to the indictment, on May 1, 2018, Mullins was in possession of a Glock, Inc., Model 22, .40 caliber semiautomatic pistol, s/n YC689US, loaded with 16 live rounds of ammunition. The indictment alleges that Mullins, a convicted felon, had the gun in his possession despite being prohibited from doing so under federal law.

The case is being led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Katherine E. Driscoll, who has a reputation for taking on tough cases. "We will not tolerate anyone, especially those with prior convictions, to have access to firearms," Driscoll said in a statement. "We will continue to work tirelessly to keep our communities safe."

The investigation into Mullins’ activities was conducted by the Philadelphia Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The partnership between the two agencies is a clear indication that law enforcement is serious about taking down those who break the law.

Conviction on the charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon could result in a minimum term of fifteen years in prison, up to five years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment. Mullins’ case is a stark reminder that the consequences of breaking the law can be severe.

The people of Philadelphia can rest a little easier knowing that there are individuals like Assistant U.S. Attorney Driscoll working diligently to keep their communities safe. The case against Nafis Mullins is a prime example of the hard work and dedication that goes into keeping our streets free from crime.

As this case continues to unfold, one thing is clear: those who break the law will be held accountable. The people of Philadelphia deserve nothing less."
