A 30-year-old Rochester man has pleaded guilty to being a felon-in-possession of a firearm and ammunition. Jeuane Harvey was taken into custody on September 9, 2016, after a confrontation with Rochester Police Department officers near the David F. Gantt Community Center.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles E. Moynihan, Harvey was seen holding a rifle with a curved magazine, which appeared to be high capacity, and ran as officers attempted to confront him.
