Kelvontae Rashad Wallace, Felon in Possession of Firearms, Alabama 2024

Birmingham, AL – Convicted felon Kelvontae Rashad Wallace, 25, of Talladega, is facing federal charges for illegally possessing firearms, announced U.S. Attorney Prim F. Escalona and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Special Agent in Charge Marcus Watson.

A four-count indictment filed in U.S. District Court charges Wallace with possession of a machinegun, possession of an unregistered firearm, and two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

According to the indictment, in January 2024, Wallace illegally possessed a Century Arms 7.62x39mm pistol. Also, in December 2023, Wallace illegally possessed a Glock .45 caliber pistol with an installed ‘Glock switch’ – a device designed to illegally convert a semiautomatic Glock pistol into a fully automatic machine gun.

Wallace is prohibited from possessing a firearm because of prior felony convictions. Wallace was convicted in the Circuit Court of Talladega County, in July 2022, of the offense of Discharging a Gun into an Occupied Building and Assault, Second Degree.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristy M. Peoples is prosecuting the case.

The case was investigated by the ATF, USMS Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force, Pell City Police Department, Talladega Police Department, Anniston Police Department, and 7th Judicial Major Crimes Unit.

An indictment contains only charges. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
