PENSACOLA, FL – Grimy Times has the grim details: Willie Curtis Slack Jr., 49, a resident of Milton, Florida, has been slammed with federal charges for possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon. The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida, John P. Heekin, broke the news.
Slack’s arraignment is set for August 13, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., in front of United States Magistrate Judge Hope T. Cannon at the Pensacola courthouse. If convicted, this hardened criminal could face a minimum sentence of 15 years behind bars under the Armed Career Criminal Act.
This isn’t Slack’s first brush with the law; he is now being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). Assistant United States Attorney Alicia H. Forbes will be leading the prosecution against him.
It’s important to note that an indictment is just a charge – not proof of guilt. Slack maintains his innocence until proven otherwise in court, where the government must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
This case falls under Operation Take Back America, a nationwide effort by the Department of Justice to combat illegal immigration, dismantle cartels and transnational criminal organizations, and safeguard local communities from violent criminals like Slack. The Northern District of Florida’s U.S. Attorney’s Office is at the forefront of this fight.
For those seeking public court documents or more information on the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida, a visit to their website or the official DOJ page is advised.
