Four People Indicted for Firearms Violations
Four people were indicted in federal court for firearms crimes.
Indicted are: Jevonn Goolsby, 29, of Akron; Seirgio Kindell, 30, of Canton; Charles E. Goode Jr., 37, of Lakewood, and Dwayne J. Wilson, 34, of Euclid.
Goolsby is charged with being a felon in possession of ammunition. Goolsby possessed a Hi-Point C9 pistol and seven rounds of ammunition on August 3, 2018, despite previous convictions for aggravated robbery and robbery, according to the indictment.
Kindell is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. Kindell possessed Walther .22-caliber pistol and ammunition on December 5, 2018, despite a previous conviction for felonious assault with a firearm specification, according to the indictment.
Goode is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. Goode possessed Ruger 9 mm pistol and ammunition on December 2, 2018, despite a previous conviction for aggravated assault, attempted felonious assault and aggravated robbery with a firearms specification, according to the indictment.
Wilson is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. Wilson possessed Smith & Wesson 9 mm pistol and ammunition on December 16, 2018, despite a previous conviction for domestic violence and burglary, according to the indictment
If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal records, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.
These cases were investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Akron Police Department (Goolsby).
They are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Damoun Delaviz, Aaron P. Howell and Kelly L. Galvin.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
