Michael Webb, a 42-year-old Camden County man with a staggering 14 prior felonies, was found guilty of unlawfully possessing a firearm and ammunition after a dramatic confrontation with US Marshals in Camden, New Jersey, in May 2024. Webb, who has a history of violent crime, including bias-motivated assault and aggravated assault with firearms, fled from officers and pointed a gun at a resident before being apprehended. The incident occurred when US Marshals attempted to arrest Webb for violating his Colorado parole.
According to evidence presented at trial, Webb’s trouble with the law began when he fled from US Marshals who were attempting to arrest him on a warrant. He crashed his car, ran from the scene, and pointed a loaded silver revolver at a Camden resident. The gun was later found near a black metal gate where Webb was arrested. Webb’s DNA was found on the revolver, linking him to the crime.
Webb’s lengthy rap sheet includes convictions for bias-motivated crime causing bodily injury in Colorado in 2021 and aggravated assaults with firearms in Camden in 2017 and 2019. The charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition carries a maximum potential penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Webb is scheduled to be sentenced on October 28, 2026.
The US Attorney’s office announced the guilty verdict, which was delivered by a federal jury on June 18, 2026. The case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat gun violence and prosecute individuals who pose a threat to public safety.
