SCRANTON – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania has dropped a bombshell on Davon Nelson, 40, of Maryland. The grimy details? Nelson is facing serious heat for possession of a weapon in a federal correctional facility.
Nelson, currently an inmate at the Allenwood Federal Correctional Facility, finds himself in hot water after being indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury. According to Acting United States Attorney John C. Gurganus, the feds allege that Nelson had his hands on a prohibited object—a sharpened steel weapon—on October 8, 2024.
The FBI has been hard at work on this case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Lloyd is now in the prosecutorial saddle. The potential punishment? A maximum of five years behind bars, plus supervised release, and a fine to boot.
Under federal law, it’s a severe charge. But remember, as Gurganus reminds us, indictments are just allegations. Nelson is innocent until proven guilty in court.
The defendant’s next move will be crucial, as the judge determines his sentence based on applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. This case isn’t over yet; it’s a high-stakes game of legal poker for Nelson.
