Noah Jackson Sentenced to 32 Months for Violent Crime, Washington DC, 2023

A previously convicted felon from Washington, D.C. has been sentenced to 32 months in prison for illegally possessing a firearm with a ‘giggle switch’ that allowed it to fire automatically.

Noah Jackson, 23, was convicted in U.S. District Court on November 17, 2023, to unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon before U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson. The sentencing was announced by U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves, Special Agent in Charge Craig B. Kailimai of the Washington Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and Chief Pamela A. Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department.

According to court documents, Jackson was a passenger in an SUV when the vehicle failed to stop at two consecutive stop signs in Northwest. Police discovered a Glock 23 .40 semi-automatic handgun on the floorboard under the passenger seat, which had been outfitted with a visible Glock “giggle switch.” The weapon had a large capacity magazine, one round in the chamber, and 19 rounds in a 22-round capacity magazine.

Jackson previously had rapped about having such a switch in several videos he had posted to YouTube. He had also been convicted in April 2018 in D.C. Superior Court on felony charges of assault with significant bodily injury, attempted robbery, and carrying a pistol without a weapon.

The case was investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared English of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, and former AUSAs Anna Forgie and Connor Mullin.

As part of the sentencing, Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered Jackson to serve three years of supervised release in addition to the 32-month prison term. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia announced the sentencing.

Residents of Washington D.C. can rest a little easier knowing that justice has been served in this case. The illegal possession of firearms is a serious crime that poses a significant threat to public safety.
