Johnny Daniels, 44 years old, of South Bend, Indiana, was sentenced in U.S. District Court after pleading guilty to being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Daniels was sentenced to 82 months in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release.
According to documents in the case, in April 2024 Daniels illegally possessed a loaded firearm while he assaulted and threatened the life of another person during the course of stealing items from a residence. Daniels’ prior convictions include numerous felony offenses, any one of which make it unlawful for him to possess the firearm in this case, including a robbery in which the victim was shot and killed.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with assistance from the South Bend Police Department and the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office.
