Reginald Miller Pleads Guilty to Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon in Georgia
A Columbus man has been convicted of violating federal law after he was found in possession of a firearm, despite being a convicted felon.
Reginald Miller, age 35, of Columbus, Georgia, pled guilty to Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon before Chief U.S. District Court Judge Clay D. Land in Columbus, Georgia on September 5, 2018. This plea subjects Mr. Miller to a maximum sentence of ten (10) years’ imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, or both.
On November 16, 2017, officers with the Columbus Police Department found Mr. Miller in possession of a Glock handgun during a traffic stop. Mr. Miller was prohibited from possessing a gun based on his prior convictions for Theft by Taking and for Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, both in Superior Court in Muscogee County.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program that has been historically successful in bringing together all levels of law enforcement to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has made turning the tide of rising violent crime in America a top priority.
The case was investigated by the Columbus Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Crawford Seals.
Questions concerning this case should be directed to Pamela Lightsey, Public Information Officer, United States Attorney’s Office, at (478) 621-2603.
