Felon Charged with Gun Crime

Columbia, SC – Justin David Crenshaw, a 31-year-old resident of Salem, has been charged with illegally possessing ammunition as a felon.

According to Acting United States Attorney Beth Drake, Crenshaw was indicted earlier this week for the offense, which allegedly occurred on October 25, 2016. The indictment alleges that Crenshaw, having been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, knowingly did possess in and affecting commerce, ammunition that is, 9mm ammunition, which had been shipped and transported in interstate and foreign commerce.

The investigation into Crenshaw’s activities was conducted by the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Assistant United States Attorney Lance Crick of the Greenville office has been assigned to prosecute the case.

Crenshaw was arrested on federal arrest warrants in early December for the offense and has remained in custody, detained without bond, since that date. The case is a stark reminder of the importance of enforcing federal gun laws and protecting public safety.
