Justin K. Nalls, a 27-year-old Milwaukee man, has been charged with armed robbery, brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, possession of ammunition by a felon, and possession of a firearm by a felon. The indictment was returned on May 5, 2015, by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
According to the indictment, Nalls and an accomplice traveled from Milwaukee to northeast Wisconsin under the guise of offering prostitution services to the owner of a Kewaunee business. However, upon arrival, they proceeded to rob the business owner at gunpoint.
A search of Nalls’ residence and vehicle yielded a loaded .44 revolver in the vehicle and 15 rounds of .357 magnum ammunition in a children’s bedroom.
Justin K. Nalls faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years to life on each count of possession of ammunition or possession of a firearm, as he is an armed career criminal under federal law based on three prior violent felony convictions.
If convicted of the robbery offense, Nalls faces an additional 7 years imprisonment consecutive to any other sentence for brandishing a firearm during the crime.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation, the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department, the Kewaunee Police Department, and the Kewaunee County District Attorney’s Office.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel R. Humble.
An indictment is only a charge and not evidence of guilt. Justin K. Nalls is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Nalls’ next court appearance has not been scheduled.
