A Jacksonville man faces up to 10 years in federal prison for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
Daryl D. Shack, 28, pleaded guilty to the charge in federal court yesterday.
According to the plea agreement, on July 17, 2017, officers from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on a car in which Shack was a passenger. At the time, Shack possessed a loaded Beretta pistol, which had previously been reported stolen, between his feet.
Shack also had a baggie of cocaine in his pocket. Officers later recovered a baggie of marijuana, a knife, and an axe from the vehicle.
Shack has a previous felony conviction for armed robbery and, therefore, is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law.
This case was investigated by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michael J. Coolican.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program that has been successful in bringing together all levels of law enforcement to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
Shack faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
