Felony Felon Cuffed: Pew’s Pistol Possession Punishment
An Ocala, Florida, man with a lengthy rap sheet is behind bars, facing up to life in prison for flaunting the law and possessing a firearm. Anthony Donnell Pew, a 47-year-old Orlando resident, was taken into custody on an indictment charging him with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The federal indictment alleges that Pew, a repeat offender with 14 prior felony convictions, had two handguns and ammunition in his possession on February 28, 2023. This egregious violation of federal law comes with severe consequences. If convicted, Pew could be sentenced to a minimum of 15 years to life in federal prison.
This case marks a significant blow to the community’s efforts to reduce gun violence and violent crime. Pew’s prior convictions include tampering with evidence, felony battery, and multiple sales of controlled substances. His history of lawlessness has landed him in hot water once again.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a collaborative effort between law enforcement agencies and the community to make neighborhoods safer. The program focuses on fostering trust, supporting community-based organizations, setting strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring results. Pew’s arrest serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of violating federal law and the importance of community involvement in reducing crime.
Assistant United States Attorney Hannah Nowalk is leading the prosecution of Pew, who is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The investigation is being conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Eustis Police Department.
The Eustis Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have made a significant arrest in the ongoing fight against gun violence. The case serves as a beacon of hope for those who have lost loved ones to senseless gun violence. Pew’s fate will be decided in the courts, but one thing is clear: his actions have put him squarely in the crosshairs of the law.
