David Webb, Firearms Charge, Virginia 2023

NORFOLK, Va. – A fugitive captured by the U.S. Marshals at a Suffolk hotel on January 6 pleaded guilty today to being a fugitive from justice in possession of firearms and ammunition.

David Webb, 40, of Georgia, was on the run for multiple outstanding arrest warrants issued in Dekalb and Chatham County, Georgia. During his time as a fugitive, Webb evaded or eluded police on at least three occasions.

According to the statement of facts filed with the plea agreement, Webb was able to evade law enforcement through his use of various aliases and false identity documents. When U.S. Marshals arrested the defendant, he was in possession of more than a dozen driver’s licenses bearing his image but associated with different names.

Webb was also in possession of five social security cards bearing names other than his own, a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs identification card, and a U.S. Military Common Access Card bearing Webb’s picture and claiming the rank of Sergeant in the Army.

At the time of his arrest, U.S. Marshals also recovered methamphetamine, $7,300 in cash, a digital scale, drug packaging materials, ammunition, and three firearms, one of which had an obliterated serial number.

Webb faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison sentenced on July 5. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
