DAYTON, Ohio – In a shocking case of firearm possession, Timothy Crider, 29, of Dayton, Ohio, was sentenced to 96 months in prison for illegally possessing a stolen revolver.
According to court documents, on March 13, 2021, Dayton police officers responded to a suspected overdose at the intersection of Watts Street and Burkhart Avenue, where they discovered Crider in a stolen gold Jaguar vehicle. Crider had an active warrant for grand theft auto and theft of a firearm, specifically the pink revolver.
Officers discovered the pink revolver under the driver’s seat, where Crider had been sitting. DNA lab reports confirmed his DNA on the weapon.
Crider has prior convictions for robbery resulting in injury and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, both felony offenses. As a previously convicted felon, Crider is prohibited from possessing firearms.
Crider pleaded guilty to the instant offense in July 2022.
Crider’s federal sentence will be served after he is released from his current term of imprisonment in Shelby County, Ohio. Crider was sentenced to 30 months in prison in Shelby County Common Pleas Court for spitting on a corrections officer while in pre-trial detention for the instant offense, when he knew he was hepatitis C positive.
This case was prosecuted as part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) violent-crime reduction program.
