Nicholas D. Gray, a 38-year-old Sacramento resident, has been indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert.
The indictment stems from an incident on March 31, 2022, when law enforcement officers responded to a domestic disturbance in Sacramento. Before officers arrived, Gray took a duffle bag of firearms from his residence and drove to a mini-storage facility. Officers contacted Gray at his storage unit and found him in possession of firearms, additional firearms parts and lower receivers, and ammunition.
Gray, who has eight prior felony convictions, including 2016 convictions for arson and manufacturing controlled substances, is prohibited from possessing a firearm. If convicted, Gray faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Sauvageau is prosecuting the case, which is being prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office, the Sacramento Police Department, and the Woodland Police Department were involved in the investigation.
The charges against Gray are only allegations, and he is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Nicholas D. Gray, 38, of Sacramento, California, is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
