佛罗里达州Panama City男子Brian Earl Glass承认重罪犯持枪罪：车内查获枪支弹药，2027年1月14日量刑、最高15年
美国司法部佛罗里达北区联邦检察官办公室（USAO-NDFL）10月27日宣布，佛罗里达州 Panama City 男子 Brian Earl Glass（37岁）已在联邦法院承认一项重罪犯非法持有枪支罪；其量刑定于2027年1月14日上午11时在 Tallahassee 举行，由联邦地区法官 Mark E. Walker 主持，最高可判15年监禁。联邦检察官 John P. Heekin 公布了认罪消息。
据法庭记录，2026年4月，执法人员搜查 Glass 所在的一处 Panama City 住所时，Glass 试图驾车离开现场被拦下；调查人员此前已在其车内发现一支枪，枪支与弹药当场被缴获。Glass 在讯问中承认枪支属于自己。记录显示，Glass 自2012年起有多项重罪前科，因此依法不得持有枪支或弹药。
Heekin 表示：「我们社区的安全没有商量余地，我们不会把街道让给公然违法的危险罪犯。」他说，总统特朗普与司法部长 Todd Blanche 已明确要求司法部全力投入，确保没有一个社区在追求无犯罪社区的努力中被落下。
此案由烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）、Bay County 警长办公室、Panama City Beach 警察局与 Panama City 警察局联合侦办，助理联邦检察官 Eric K. Mountin 负责公诉。案件属司法部全国「安全社区计划」（Project Safe Neighborhoods）的一部分，该计划由各联邦检察官办公室协调联邦、州与地方执法力量打击暴力犯罪。
Florida Man Brian Earl Glass Pleads Guilty to Felon-in-Possession Charge in Panama City: Sentencing Set for January 14, 2027, Faces Up to 15 Years
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Florida announced on October 27 that Brian Earl Glass, 37, of Panama City, Florida, has pleaded guilty in federal court to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Sentencing is scheduled for January 14, 2027, at 11:00 a.m. before U.S. District Judge Mark E. Walker in Tallahassee, and Glass faces enhanced penalties of up to 15 years in prison. U.S. Attorney John P. Heekin announced the plea.
According to court records, during an April 2026 search of a Panama City residence where Glass was located, he attempted to leave in his vehicle but was detained. Investigators had earlier observed a firearm inside the vehicle, and the firearm and ammunition were seized. During questioning, Glass admitted the firearm belonged to him. Records also show Glass had multiple prior felony convictions dating back to 2012, and was therefore legally prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition.
"The safety of our communities is not negotiable, and we will not yield our streets to dangerous criminals who brazenly violate our laws," Heekin said, adding that President Donald J. Trump and Attorney General Todd Blanche have directed the Justice Department to commit its full might to ensuring no neighborhood is left behind in the pursuit of crime-free communities.
The case was jointly investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Bay County Sheriff's Office, the Panama City Beach Police Department and the Panama City Police Department, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric K. Mountin. It is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, the Justice Department's nationwide violent-crime initiative coordinated by U.S. Attorneys' offices.
