U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Corrigan has sentenced Danny Ray Boree, a 39-year-old resident of Keystone Heights, to 10 years and 10 months in federal prison. Boree was charged with possession with intent to distribute five grams or more of methamphetamine and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The court also ordered the forfeiture of a Raven Arms pistol linked to the firearm offense. Boree was arrested on September 8, 2023, and pleaded guilty on July 10, 2024.
Court documents reveal that Boree is affiliated with the Unforgiven, a violent white supremacy gang. On June 8, 2023, a deputy from the Clay County Sheriff’s Office stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation in Keystone Heights. Boree was found in the passenger seat with weapons visible nearby. A pat-down revealed methamphetamine in his possession. Further search uncovered additional methamphetamine and a Raven Arms pistol.
Boree's criminal history includes ten felony convictions in Florida state court, such as battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence. He was released from prison in January 2023 after serving time for firearm possession as a convicted felon.
Sheriff Michelle Cook expressed gratitude for the partnership with the U.S. Attorney's Office: “We are grateful for our ongoing partnership with the U.S. Attorney's Office as we continue our shared commitment to combating drugs and preventing the violence that often accompanies them.”
ATF Tampa Field Division Special Agent in Charge Kirk Howard stated: “Residents of Northeast Florida are much safer with this violent criminal in federal prison.” He added that disrupting activities like those of the Unforgiven requires unwavering commitment.
The case was investigated by both the Clay County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives – Jacksonville Office, and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kevin C. Frein.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), an initiative aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence through collaboration between law enforcement agencies and communities.
