Milton 重犯两度非法持枪被判联邦监禁 15 年：此前有多项暴力与贩毒重罪记录
美国司法部佛罗里达北区检察官办公室10月20日宣布，现年 50 岁、住在佛罗里达州 Milton 的 Willie Curtis Slack Jr. 被判处 15 年联邦监禁；他此前已就两项「重罪犯持有枪支与弹药」罪名认罪。佛罗里达北区联邦检察官 John P. Heekin 公布了这一判决。
法庭文件显示，2023年10月的一次交通拦停中，执法人员从 Slack 腰带处搜出一把上膛手枪与大麻；2024年12月，执法人员又查获他当年早些时候持有过的另外两支枪支及配套的大量弹药。
在上述事件之前，Slack 已有多项重罪前科，包括殴打、暴力抗拒警员、以威胁实施严重攻击，以及多项毒品销售与贩运定罪。因此，本案适用《武装职业罪犯法》的加重强制最低刑罚。
联邦检察官 John P. Heekin 在声明中表示，把枪支从危险罪犯手中清除，对维护社区安全至关重要，该办公室将继续积极起诉暴力犯罪者。
Milton Felon Sentenced to 15 Years in Federal Prison for Unlawful Firearm Possession
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Florida announced on October 20 that Willie Curtis Slack Jr., 50, of Milton, Florida, was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison after previously pleading guilty to two counts of possession of firearms and ammunition by a convicted felon. U.S. Attorney John P. Heekin announced the sentence.
Court documents show that during a traffic stop in October 2023, officers found and seized a loaded pistol and marijuana from Slack's waistband. In December 2024, law enforcement seized two additional firearms and matching bulk ammunition that he had knowingly possessed earlier that year.
Before those incidents, Slack had been convicted of numerous felonies, including batteries, resisting an officer with violence, aggravated assault by threat, and multiple drug sale and trafficking convictions. As a result, he was subject to enhanced mandatory minimum penalties under the Armed Career Criminal Act.
"Keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous criminals, like this serial felon, is imperative if we hope to succeed in keeping our communities safe," U.S. Attorney John P. Heekin said in the announcement.
