Felony Firearms Charge Lands Elgin Man Behind Bars
A Columbia, South Carolina resident has been handed a lengthy prison sentence after being convicted of possessing ammunition as a convicted felon. Freddie Grant, 54, was found guilty of violating Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(g)(1) and 924(e), a federal offense.
Grant was sentenced to 212 months (17.6 years) in federal prison for the crime, followed by five years of supervised release. The sentence was handed down by Senior United States District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie on April 18, 2013.
The conviction stems from a one-day trial in January 2013, where Grant was found guilty of being in possession of ammunition despite being a convicted felon. The specifics of the case are not clear, but the conviction has resulted in a significant prison sentence for the Elgin man.
According to the United States Attorney’s Office, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a published opinion affirming Grant’s federal conviction. The written opinion can be found at http://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/daily-opinions.
Grant’s case was heard by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on March 26, 2014, during a special session held at the University of South Carolina School of Law. The court’s decision has left Grant facing a lengthy prison sentence, one that will see him behind bars for nearly two decades.
