A fugitive captured by the U.S. Marshals at a Suffolk hotel pleaded guilty to being a fugitive from justice in possession of firearms and ammunition.
David Webb, 40, of Georgia, was arrested on January 6 at a hotel in Suffolk after being on the run for multiple outstanding arrest warrants issued in Dekalb and Chatham County, Georgia.
Webb evaded or eluded police on at least three occasions, including one instance when he fled from police by jumping out of the back window of a hotel and hiding in an alligator-infested swamp.
According to the statement of facts filed with the plea agreement, Webb used various aliases and false identity documents to evade law enforcement. At the time of his arrest, U.S. Marshals recovered more than a dozen driver’s licenses bearing his image but associated with different names.
The identification documents included driver’s licenses purportedly issued by the states of Texas, Nebraska, Illinois, Connecticut, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and the District of Columbia. 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.
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 and is set to be sentenced on July 5. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
A statement released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia said that the case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Suffolk Police Department.
