Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Gary W. Crim, GARY W. CRIM LAW OFFICE, Dayton, Ohio, for Appellant.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: Rachel M. Stephens, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Nashville, Tennessee, for Appellee.

Judge(s): MOORE, THAPAR, and NALBANDIAN, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee at Nashville

NALBANDIAN, Circuit Judge. Responding to a “shots fired” call, officers arrived at an apartment, finding blood on the walls and items scattered everywhere. Ivan Crump, who was incoherently mumbling and wearing nothing but a towel, was the only person inside. A protective sweep and subsequent search led the police to find two guns, ammunition, drugs, drug paraphernalia, and several documents bearing Crump’s name. So they arrested him. And while he was behind bars, Crump said on recorded phone calls that he had fired a gun and wanted to get back to drug trafficking. Crump was charged and convicted of possessing a firearm and ammunition as a felon under the Armed Career Criminal Act. He now appeals on four grounds. Finding no error, we affirm.
