Kevin Allen Rose, Marijuana Sales to Minor, Florida 2016

Defendant Sentenced to 7 Years in Federal Prison for Selling Marijuana and Possessing Firearm

Jacksonville, Florida – Kevin Allen Rose (30, Macclenny), a convicted felon, was sentenced to 7 years in federal prison for selling marijuana and possessing a firearm, according to court documents.

Rose pleaded guilty to all charges on July 13, 2016. He was found guilty of selling marijuana at his home in Macclenny, Florida to a confidential informant.

During the sales, Rose bragged about his ownership of firearms. During one sale, he directed a child in the home to assist him. When law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at the residence, they discovered a loaded semi-automatic handgun and over 100 rounds of ammunition.

Rose is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition under federal law because of his multiple, prior felony convictions.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Baker County Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michael J. Coolican.

This case is another example of the efforts to reduce gun violence in our community, as part of the ‘Project Safe Neighborhoods’ Program, a nationwide gun-violence reduction strategy.

United States Attorney A. Lee Bentley, III, along with Daryl R. McCrary, Special Agent in Charge, ATF, is coordinating the Project Safe Neighborhoods effort in the Middle District of Florida in cooperation with federal, state, and local law enforcement officials.
