United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announced that Bryan Jermaine Davis, 37, of Jacksonville, has pleaded guilty to possessing ammunition as a convicted felon. Davis now faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in federal prison, with sentencing yet to be scheduled.
According to court documents, the charges stem from a traffic stop on July 5, 2024, conducted by an officer with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. Davis was stopped for not wearing a seatbelt. During questioning, Davis admitted to possessing marijuana, prompting the officer to search his vehicle. Under the driver’s seat, the officer discovered a bag containing assorted rounds of ammunition and a ghost gun. Ghost guns are firearms that lack serial numbers, making them untraceable.
When Davis saw the officer recover the items, he attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended by officers who arrived at the scene. At the time of the offense, Davis had multiple prior felony convictions, including robbery, selling heroin, possession of cocaine, dealing in stolen property, and possession of a weapon by a state prisoner. As a convicted felon, Davis is prohibited from possessing ammunition under federal law.
The case was investigated by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Brenna Falzetta.
