Davorian M. Fleming, 21, from Kansas City, Mo., has been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for possession and transfer of machineguns, including conversion devices known as ‘switches,’ according to the Department of Justice USAO.
Fleming pleaded guilty on April 3, 2025, and admitted aiding co-defendants K’Orion A. Duff and others in the illegal transfer of firearms. His sentencing took place on September 9, 2025, before U.S. District Judge Beth Phillips.
Co-defendant Duff, also from Kansas City, was previously sentenced to 15 months for distributing machinegun conversion devices. Two other co-defendants are awaiting their sentences.
The crime is a stark violation of federal law, specifically Title 26, United States Code, Section 5845(b), which bans the possession or transfer of certain firearms, including those with machine gun conversion capabilities.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashleigh Ragner prosecuted the case, while the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) led the investigation.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a national initiative aimed at eliminating cartels, transnational criminal organizations, and violent crime in communities across the United States.
