Defendant Arrested on Gun and Drug Violations
Montgomery, AL – A suspect was arrested earlier this week for his alleged involvement in gun and drug violations, announced George Beck Jr., U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama.
According to officials, the suspect, Larry Keyun Chappell (31), was part of a larger round-up of gang members and violent felons in the Montgomery area. The operation was a result of a joint effort between the Montgomery Police Department and several federal agencies.
The participating agencies included the Montgomery Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the United States Marshals Service, the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Chappell is one of 14 individuals from Montgomery who were arrested as part of the operation. The charges against them include allegations of drug distribution, possession of firearms in connection with drug distribution, and possession of firearms while being a convicted felon.
The evidence also indicates that these individuals are affiliated with numerous gangs in the area, including CBM, Crum Nation, Gangster Disciples, Hardy Boys, and the King Hill Murk Gang. The allegations against some of the suspects arose from the Club Big Boyz shooting in October of 2015.
Chappell and the other defendants face possible sentences of up to 20 years imprisonment if convicted. U.S. Attorney Beck would like to thank the agencies involved for their hard work during the investigations and arrests.
The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Brandon Bates, Todd Brown, John Geer, Steven Lee, Rand Neeley, Jonathan Ross, and Susan Redmond.
Chappell is presumed innocent until proven guilty at trial.
