A Citrus County felon has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for possession of firearms and ammunition by a convicted felon and possession of unregistered National Firearms Act (NFA) firearms.
Senior U.S. District Judge John Antoon II ordered Robert Joseph Miller (46, Homosassa) to 10 years in federal prison for his crimes, which were committed in Ocala, Florida. The Court also ordered Miller to forfeit approximately 50 firearms and more than 8,400 rounds of ammunition linked to the offenses.
Miller had been indicted on May 4, 2021. He entered guilty pleas to the charges on November 19, 2021.
According to the evidence presented in court, Miller is a three-time convicted felon prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition under federal law.
On March 10, 2021, agents arrested Miller on a felony theft warrant after finding him in possession of several spools and barrels of industrial metals (nickel, cobalt, etc.). Agents then executed a search warrant at Miller’s Citrus County residence that resulted in the recovery of more than $50,000 worth of stolen property, approximately 50 firearms, and over 8,400 rounds of assorted ammunition.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Robert E. Bodnar, Jr.
This case was prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the Department’s violent crime reduction efforts.
