Samuel George Brown of Fort Pierce, Florida was arrested recently after he was allegedly found with guns in his possession despite a prior felony conviction, along with an unspecified amount of marijuana, a press release from the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida indicates. Brown, 49, was booked into police custody on charges of possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, prohibited possession of firearms, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. It is unclear whether he qualified for bail bond . The press did not specify a defense attorney for Brown.
According to reports, Brown is a previously convicted felon, although the details of his prior arrest and conviction were not immediately available at press time. Based on the indictment filed against him, a complaint was filed concerning Brown's illicit firearm possession sometime earlier this year; it is not clear how authorities discovered that Brown had firearms. In any case, Police, armed with a search warrant, went and search to Brown's home in Fort Pierce on June 8, 2013, the indictment says.
