A Clay County Man Sentenced to Prison for Federal Gun Crime
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Todd Jeffery Ullum, 33, of Maysel, was sentenced today to three years and one month in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
On September 15, 2021, a law enforcement officer encountered Ullum at the Clay-Maysel GoMart with a handgun in the back of his pants. When Ullum saw the officer, he attempted to flee in a vehicle. The officer ordered Ullum to stop and recovered the handgun, a loaded 9mm Short Hungarian pistol, as well as a loaded Remington 597 .22-caliber Magnum rifle from the vehicle.

Federal law prohibits a person with a prior felony conviction from possessing a firearm or ammunition.
United States Attorney Will Thompson made the announcement and commended the investigative work of the Clay County Sheriff’s Department.
