西弗吉尼亚州男子有重罪前科仍随身带两把装弹手枪:联邦法院判刑10年

美国司法部西弗吉尼亚州南区联邦检察官办公室2026年11月5日宣布,居住在西弗吉尼亚州 Mount Hope 的 Eddie Daivon Morgan(45岁,绰号「Gutta」)因重罪犯持有枪支罪,被联邦法院判处10年监禁,其后须接受3年监督释放。
法庭文件与庭上陈述显示,2022年11月30日,执法人员持有针对 Morgan 的恶意伤害罪逮捕令,在 Fayette 县发现他进入一辆汽车后实施交通拦截,在汽车后座找到躺着的 Morgan,并从他身上搜出一把装弹的 Glock 42 型 .380 口径手枪和一把装弹的 SCCY 9mm 手枪。
这张逮捕令源于2022年11月18日 Morgan 与另一人在 Fayette 县一处住宅发生的冲突:口角升级后,Morgan 威胁要「开枪扫射这个地方」,随后用一把 .380 口径手枪开了两枪,击伤对方手臂。Morgan 于2024年3月28日在 Fayette 县巡回法院就未遂二级谋杀、恶意攻击、持枪鲁莽危害他人以及在重罪过程中使用枪支四项罪名认罪。
联邦法律禁止有重罪前科者持有枪支或弹药。司法部表示,Morgan 明知自己被禁止持枪:他曾于2013年1月24日在美国西弗吉尼亚州南区联邦地区法院因利用通讯工具协助贩毒被定罪。他的犯罪记录还包括二级过失杀人、二级攻击、重罪逃逸、持枪鲁莽危害、在学校1,000英尺范围内持有并意图交付受控物质、殴打与家庭暴力殴打等前科。
联邦检察官 Moore Capito 宣布判刑,并肯定烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局(ATF)与 Oak Hill 警察局的侦办工作。联邦地区法官 Irene C. Berger 主持量刑,助理联邦检察官 JC MacCallum 负责起诉,案件编号为 2:23-cr-92。此案属于司法部「夺回美国行动」(Operation Take Back America)与「安全社区计划」(Project Safe Neighborhoods)的一部分。
West Virginia Felon Caught With Two Loaded Pistols Sentenced to 10 Years in Federal Prison
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of West Virginia announced on November 5, 2026, that Eddie Daivon Morgan, 45, of Mount Hope, West Virginia, also known as "Gutta," was sentenced to 10 years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on November 30, 2022, law enforcement officers who held an active arrest warrant for Morgan on a malicious wounding charge saw him enter a vehicle in Fayette County, conducted a traffic stop, and found Morgan lying in the back seat. Officers seized a loaded Glock model 42 .380-caliber pistol and a loaded SCCY 9mm pistol from his person.
The warrant followed a November 18, 2022, confrontation between Morgan and another person at a Fayette County residence. After a verbal altercation escalated, Morgan threatened to "shoot the place up" and later fired two rounds from a .380-caliber pistol, wounding the other person in the arm. Morgan pleaded guilty in Fayette County Circuit Court on March 28, 2024, to attempted second-degree murder, malicious assault, wanton endangerment involving a firearm, and use or presentation of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Federal law prohibits anyone with a prior felony conviction from possessing a firearm or ammunition. The Justice Department said Morgan knew he was prohibited because of his January 24, 2013, conviction in the Southern District of West Virginia for using a communication facility to facilitate a drug trafficking offense. His criminal history also includes prior convictions for second-degree manslaughter, second-degree assault, felony escape, wanton endangerment with a firearm, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school, battery, and domestic battery.
U.S. Attorney Moore Capito announced the sentence and commended the work of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Oak Hill Police Department. U.S. District Judge Irene C. Berger imposed the sentence, and Assistant U.S. Attorney JC MacCallum prosecuted the case, No. 2:23-cr-92. The case is part of Operation Take Back America and Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN).
