Dwayne Shannon Reardon, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, North Carolina 2018

RALEIGH — A Four Oaks man was convicted of felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of a firearm while subject to a domestic violence order.

A federal jury found Dwayne Shannon Reardon, 48, guilty of the crimes following a two-day trial before United States District Judge James C. Dever III.

The charges against Reardon stem from an arrest on February 21, 2018, when officers with the Johnston County Sheriff’s Office responded to 114 Pine Tree Lane in Four Oaks, North Carolina, to arrest Reardon for violating a domestic violence protective order.

During the arrest, officers found a bag of methamphetamine and a bag of cocaine in Reardon’s pants pocket. Another bag of methamphetamine was seen in his truck, and a large amount of cash was found in the center console.

A search warrant was executed on Reardon’s house, where officers found a digital scale with methamphetamine residue, as well as other drug paraphernalia on his nightstand. Moreover, a handgun was found in an unscrewed vent beside Reardon’s bed.

The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) investigated this case. Assistant United States Attorneys Donald Pender and Felice Corpening represented the government.

Reardon, a convicted felon, is facing significant prison time for his crimes. He will be sentenced at a later date.

The exact sentence or outcome of Reardon’s case is yet to be determined.
