Demarcus White, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Indiana 2023

Fort Wayne, IN – A Fort Wayne man was sentenced to 46 months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Demarcus White, 30, was sentenced by District Judge Theresa L. Springmann to 46 months of imprisonment and 2 years of supervised release after pleading guilty to the felony offense of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

According to documents filed in this case, several firearms were discovered in White’s custody during a traffic violation stop. White had two rifles and one handgun in his possession. In June 2003, White was convicted of armed bank robbery and brandishing and using a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. This case was the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Anthony Geller.

White’s history of convictions and possession of multiple firearms raises concerns about public safety. ‘Demarcus White’s actions demonstrate a blatant disregard for the law and a willingness to put the public at risk,’ said a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The sentence handed down to White is a result of his guilty plea and cooperation with authorities. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the U.S. Attorney’s Office worked together to bring White to justice.

This case serves as a reminder of the importance of gun safety and the consequences of possessing firearms as a convicted felon. ‘We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that those who pose a threat to public safety are held accountable,’ said the spokesperson.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Anthony Geller.
