Hartford Man Pleads Guilty To Felony Gun Charge: Feds

HARTFORD, CT — A 34-year-old Hartford man pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday for illegally possessing a firearm.

Vanessa Roberts Avery, U.S. Attorney for Connecticut, said Kendall Camby, also known as “KB,” 34, of Hartford, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Hartford to unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.

According to court documents and statements made in court, on Feb. 22, 2023, Hartford police stopped a car Camby was riding in and found him in possession of a .45 caliber Glock 30 handgun.

In addition, Avery said, it had a magazine loaded with 12 rounds of ammunition and was fitted with a Glock switch auto sear device, which converted the gun to an automatic weapon.

She said Camby also possessed approximately 650 wax paper sleeves containing fentanyl and approximately 50 bags of crack cocaine.

Camby’s criminal history includes state convictions for felony firearm, drug, robbery, and burglary offenses.

It is a violation of federal law for a person previously convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce.

Unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 15 years.

Camby is detained pending sentencing, which is not scheduled, according to Avery.
