United States Attorney W. Walter Wilkins announced today that Lashon Alvin Ladson, age 23, of Longs, South Carolina, was charged in a one-count indictment with felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition on May 3, 2008. The charge arises from a traffic stop in Horry County last May, during which deputies allegedly recovered a stolen gun.
The maximum penalty the defendant could receive is life imprisonment.
The case was investigated by the Horry County Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Rose Mary Parham of the Florence Office, as a part of Project Cease Fire, an initiative of the United States Attorneys Office targeting gun crimes.
