Atlanta fugitive sentenced for illegal firearm possession

0Comments

Jordan Pack, a convicted felon and one of Atlanta Police Department’s most wanted fugitives, has been sentenced for multiple counts of unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition. The sentencing was announced by Acting U.S. Attorney Richard S. Moultrie, Jr., who emphasized the importance of law enforcement partnerships in prosecuting repeat offenders like Pack.

Pack was previously convicted in October 2008 for armed robbery involving a firearm in Douglasville, Georgia. He served ten years in prison and was released on probation in April 2018. Despite his conviction, Pack continued to possess firearms and engage in violent activities.

In October 2021, officers arrested Pack after a motor vehicle collision in Dacula, Georgia. During the arrest, they found live .38 caliber ammunition in his possession and later discovered a loaded revolver he had discarded nearby.

In June 2022, following a domestic dispute at a home in Northwest Atlanta, Pack threatened a female resident with a firearm and fired shots into the air before fleeing. Officers recovered shell casings from the scene.

On August 10, 2022, APD fugitive unit officers located Pack working as an armed security guard under an alias at an apartment complex in Southwest Atlanta. He was found with various weapons including a Tokarev shotgun and a Highpoint pistol loaded with ammunition.

Chief District Judge Timothy C. Batten, Sr., sentenced Pack to 66 months of incarceration followed by three years of supervised release on March 6, 2024. Pack pleaded guilty to the charges on November 12, 2024.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) along with the Atlanta Police Department. Special Agent Benjamin Gibbons highlighted ATF’s commitment to holding individuals with criminal histories accountable for their actions.

Assistant United States Attorney Joshua May prosecuted the case alongside former Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jesika French and Norman Barnett.

This prosecution is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), which aims to reduce violent crime through community trust-building and strategic enforcement priorities.
