David Frazier, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, West Virginia 2022
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A Huntington man has been sentenced to two years in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm, officials announced.
David Frazier, also known as “Dae Dae,” 43, of Huntington, was sentenced to two years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for the federal gun crime. Frazier admitted to possessing the firearm during a traffic stop in June 2022.
On June 9, 2022, law enforcement officers conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle in which Frazier was a passenger on the 100 block of Cedar Street in Huntington. Officers searched the vehicle and found a Taurus, model G2C, 9mm pistol.
Federal law prohibits a person with a prior felony conviction from possessing a firearm or ammunition. Frazier knew he was prohibited from possessing a firearm because of his prior felony convictions for aggravated robbery in Wayne County Circuit Court on April 14, 2000, and for being a felon in possession of a firearm in Cabell County Circuit Court on March 2, 2018.
United States Attorney Will Thompson made the announcement and commended the investigative work of the Huntington Police Department. United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed the sentence. Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie Taylor prosecuted the case.
A copy of this press release is located on the website of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia. Related court documents and information can be found on PACER by searching for Case No. 3:22-cr-222.
Frazier’s sentence is a stark reminder of the consequences of violating federal gun laws. The public should be aware of the dangers of possessing firearms while having a prior felony conviction.
