Jadus Stubbs, a 21-year-old resident of Pittsburgh’s Greenfield neighborhood, has been indicted for possessing two firearms and ammunition despite being a convicted felon. The incident occurred on or about March 22, 2026, and Stubbs now faces federal charges for violating firearms laws. As a prior state felony drug trafficking convict, Stubbs is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law.
The indictment is the result of an investigation conducted by the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Stubbs could face up to 15 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, or both, if convicted. The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence in communities.
Assistant United States Attorney V. Joseph Sonson is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The federal grand jury in Pittsburgh handed down the one-count indictment, which accuses Stubbs of violating federal firearms laws. The investigation and prosecution of this case demonstrate the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat gun violence and keep communities safe.
The case against Stubbs is a reminder that convicted felons are not allowed to possess firearms or ammunition under federal law. The penalties for violating these laws can be severe, and law enforcement agencies are working to enforce these laws and prevent gun violence. As the case moves forward, Stubbs will have the opportunity to defend himself against the charges.
