OCALA, Fla. – An Ocala man has been arrested resulting from an indictment charging him with possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
If convicted, Clinton Darnelle Kaham, 24, Ocala, faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison.
A federal grand jury returned the indictment on July 11, 2023.
According to evidence presented in court, on approximately July 6, 2022, officers from the Ocala Police Department found Kaham, a gang member, in possession of a loaded firearm.
The firearm had previously been reported stolen from Marion County. Kaham has previously been convicted of a felony, possession of heroin (2021), and is therefore prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition under federal law.
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
