A convicted felon has been sentenced to 42 months in prison after being found in possession of multiple firearms, authorities announced.
Ro’Daryus Donell Mitchell, 27, of Center Point, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Annmarie C. Axon after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm in August.
According to the plea agreement, on May 31, 2023, the United States Marshals Service (USMS) Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force (GCRFTF) was searching for Mitchell on multiple arrest warrants.
The warrants included 22 counts of Unlawful Breaking and Entering a Vehicle, four counts of Theft of Property, Second Degree, one count of Receiving Stolen Property, Second Degree, and a probation revocation warrant for Violation of the State Firearms Act.
USMS GCRFTF deputies found Mitchell at a residence in Birmingham and arrested him on the outstanding warrants. A search of the residence resulted in the seizure of a Glock 9mm pistol loaded with 17 rounds of ammunition, an American Tactical .300 pistol, a Taurus .45 caliber pistol loaded with five rounds of ammunition, and multiple loaded and unloaded firearm magazines.
The American Tactical .300 pistol had been reported stolen to the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office on May 12, 2023, while the Taurus .45 caliber pistol had been reported stolen to the Birmingham Police Department on May 25, 2023.
Mitchell had previously been convicted of two counts of Unlawful Breaking and Entering a Vehicle in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County.
USMS GCRFTF and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency investigated the case, while Assistant United States Attorney Kristy Peoples prosecuted the case.
The sentencing marks a significant blow to Mitchell’s criminal activities, and authorities are commending the efforts of those involved in bringing him to justice.
The case serves as a reminder of the consequences of breaking the law, especially for those who have been previously convicted of crimes.
