Trumain Davis Sentenced for Firearms Trafficking in North Carolina
A 32-year-old Fayetteville man, Trumain Davis, has been sentenced to 144 months in prison for his involvement in firearms trafficking and possession of a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon.
Davis was charged in a six-count indictment on December 12, 2017, and pled guilty to two counts on April 9, 2018. He was accused of selling six firearms to a confidential informant between July 18 and October 9, 2017, with the intention of reselling them to drug dealers.
The investigation into Davis’s activities was conducted by the Fayetteville Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF). This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and making communities safer.
According to the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Robert J. Higdon, Jr., Davis’s sentence is a significant blow to those involved in firearms trafficking and other violent crimes. ‘This case is a prime example of the effectiveness of Project Safe Neighborhoods in combating violent crime and keeping our communities safe,’ Higdon said.
Davis’s sentence includes 144 months in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release. His conviction serves as a warning to others involved in similar activities, and highlights the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies and the community in reducing violent crime.
The Fayetteville Police Department and the ATF worked tirelessly to bring Davis to justice, and their efforts have paid off with this significant conviction. The case is a testament to the power of partnership and determination in keeping our communities safe.
