Ex-Con Caught with Gun
ROANOKE, VIRGINIA – In a move to keep communities safe, 38-year-old Clifton Deron Campbell of Roanoke, Virginia, has pleaded guilty to a federal gun charge.
Campbell’s guilty plea was made in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia in Roanoke. He admitted to being a previously convicted felon illegally in possession of a firearm, which is punishable by a mandatory minimum sentence of 180 months in federal prison if he is deemed an armed career criminal.
According to United States Attorney John P. Fishwick Jr., the investigation was a joint effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Roanoke City Police Department.
Assistant United States Attorney Donald R. Wolthuis prosecuted the case for the United States.
The guilty plea is a result of the tireless efforts of law enforcement agencies working together to get illegal guns off the streets of communities.
United States Attorney John P. Fishwick Jr. emphasized the importance of keeping communities safe by keeping illegal guns out of the hands of those who mean harm.
The investigation and prosecution of this case serve as a reminder of the consequences of breaking the law and the importance of community safety.
Campbell is expected to be sentenced in the coming weeks, and it is unclear at this time whether he will face the mandatory minimum sentence.
