Felon Caught with Guns in New Orleans

A New Orleans man was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, announced U.S. Attorney Dana Boente. Ronald Taylor, 20, is accused of possessing two pistols.

According to the indictment, Taylor has a prior felony conviction in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court for aggravated assault with a firearm. Taylor faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years, a fine of $250,000, and 3 years of supervised release following any term of imprisonment.

U.S. Attorney Boente reiterated that the indictment is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

The case is being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Michael B. Redmann.

The indictment was handed down by a Federal Grand Jury in the Eastern District of Louisiana. Taylor’s alleged crime is a serious one, and if convicted, he could face significant time behind bars.

As the investigation continues, the community can take comfort in knowing that law enforcement is taking a strong stance against felons in possession of firearms.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is leading the investigation, and Special Assistant United States Attorney Michael B. Redmann will be prosecuting the case. The indictment is a significant step towards holding Taylor accountable for his alleged crime.
