Felon Indicted In Gun And Pawn Shop Burglary Case

BIRMINGHAM, AL — A federal grand jury last week indicted a felon in connection to a burglary of a gun and pawn shop in Jasper. Donald Keith Southall, 55, of Quinton, Ala., was charged with one count of theft of a firearm from a Federal Firearms Licensed business, Outlaw Gun and Pawn in Jasper, on July 1, 2019.

“We have zero-tolerance for violent crime in the Northern District of Alabama,” U.S. Attorney Town said. “Felons with firearms violate our federal laws and present a danger to all of us. Together with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners we will continue to aggressively prosecute those individuals who threaten the safety of our communities.”

The maximum penalty for stealing a firearm from a licensed gun dealer, for possession of a stolen firearm, and being a felon in possession of a firearm is 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
