Independence Man Charged with Illegal Firearm Possession
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A local man is behind bars after being charged with illegally possessing a stolen firearm.
Daryl O.D. Beck, 37, was charged by a federal grand jury on July 15, 2025, with being a felon in possession of a firearm and for possession of a stolen firearm.
Beck has prior felony convictions, including for possession and intent to manufacture a controlled substance, as well as for aggravated assault.
Under federal law, it is illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a felony to be in possession of any firearm or ammunition.
The charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brad K. Kavanaugh. It was investigated by the Independence, Missouri Police Department.
Beck’s case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the government to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
Beck made his initial appearance in court following the unsealing of the indictment. The defendant’s next court appearance is pending.
This case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat violent crime and keep our communities safe.
The public is reminded that the charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt.
