Jordan Pack, a fugitive once listed among the most wanted by the Atlanta Police Department, has been sentenced for multiple counts of unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition. Acting U.S. Attorney Richard S. Moultrie, Jr. commented on the case, stating, "Pack continued to possess firearms and commit violent offenses after being previously convicted of a violent felony." He emphasized the role of law enforcement partnerships in successfully prosecuting repeat offenders like Pack.
Special Agent in Charge Benjamin Gibbons from ATF remarked on the sentence: “This sentence reflects ATF commitment to ensure that those with a history of crime are held accountable.” He stressed that felons possessing firearms pose a danger to communities and affirmed ATF's dedication to removing such threats.
The charges against Pack stem from incidents following his release from prison in April 2018. In October 2021, he was arrested in Dacula, Georgia, where officers found him with live .38 caliber ammunition and later discovered a loaded revolver he had discarded at the scene of an accident. Another incident occurred in June 2022 when Pack fired shots during a domestic dispute in Northwest Atlanta.
Pack was eventually located by APD's fugitive unit in August 2022 at an apartment complex where he worked as an armed security guard under an alias. Officers found him with several weapons including a Tokarev shotgun and a loaded pistol.
On March 6, 2024, Chief District Judge Timothy C. Batten Sr. sentenced Pack to 66 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release after he pleaded guilty to the charges on November 12, 2024.
The investigation involved collaboration between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Atlanta Police Department (APD). Assistant United States Attorney Joshua May led the prosecution along with former Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jesika French and Norman Barnett.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), which aims to reduce violent crime through cooperation between law enforcement agencies and community organizations.
