Huntington Man Sentenced to Prison for Federal Gun Crime
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Tairon Jordan Bradley, 25, of Huntington, was sentenced today to two years and nine months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on November 7, 2023, a law enforcement officer conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle driven by Bradley in Kenova. As the officer was collecting information, Bradley fled in his vehicle.
Bradley drove onto Interstate 64 during the resulting pursuit and struck another vehicle as he entered Cabell County. Bradley’s vehicle came to a stop in the middle of I-64, and Bradley fled on foot across the interstate and into a nearby wooded area where he was found and arrested.
Officers found a loaded Weihrauch Hermann Model EA/R .38 Special/.357 magnum revolver in Bradley’s vehicle.
Federal law prohibits a person with a prior felony conviction from possessing a firearm or ammunition. Bradley knew he was prohibited from possessing a firearm because of his prior felony convictions for first-degree robbery and conspiracy in Cabell County Circuit Court on January 17, 2019.
Acting United States Attorney Lisa G. Johnston made the announcement and commended the investigative work of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Kenova Police Department, and the Huntington Police Department.
United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers imposed the sentence. Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie Taylor prosecuted the case.
