Larico Wesley, 33, charged with felon in possession of a firearm in Canton, Ohio
Larico Wesley, a 33-year-old man from Canton, Ohio, has been charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to a federal indictment. Wesley, also known as Rico, was arrested by members of the FBI Stark County Safe Street Task Force and Canton Police on October 31, 2013, following an investigation conducted by the Canton Police Department.
The indictment stems from an incident that occurred on August 25, 2013, in the 700 block of Fourth Street, SW, in Canton. Canton Police responded to calls of shots fired and upon arrival, observed Wesley pacing near and around a black SUV in the parking lot. A further investigation revealed a semi-automatic handgun on the bumper of the vehicle, according to the indictment.
Wesley, who is also known as Rico, is charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. If convicted, his sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including his prior criminal record, if any, his role in the offenses, and the unique characteristics of the violations.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Teresa Dirksen. An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Larico Wesley’s exact sentence or outcome is not yet determined and will be decided by the court after reviewing all factors. The case is currently ongoing.
