Bismarck – United States Attorney Drew H. Wrigley announced that on March 9, 2020, Jordan Devon Bailey, appeared in Federal Court at an initial appearance and arraignment hearing. The United States District Court for the District of North Dakota unsealed an Indictment revealing that a federal grand jury indicted Bailey on the charges of Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition and an Illegal Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Specifically, the Grand Jury alleges that on December 31, 2019, North Dakota Probation and Parole conducted a search of Bailey’s residence and garage after receiving information that Bailey was in possession of a firearm.
