John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of
Connecticut, today announced that MICHAEL DAVIS, also known as “Clep,” “Clip,”
and “Michael Smith,” 33, of New Haven, pleaded guilty yesterday before U.S.
District Judge Kari A. Dooley in Bridgeport to firearm and narcotics offenses.
According to court documents and statements made in court,
in December 2018, law enforcement began investigating Davis related to a
threatening incident in New Haven. Davis
was arrested on December 7, 2018. At the
time of his arrest, he possessed distribution quantities of heroin and
cocaine. A subsequent search of his
vehicle revealed a Smith & Wesson SD 40 handgun.
Davis’s criminal history includes multiple felony
convictions for narcotics offenses and a conviction for escape in the first
degree. It is a violation of federal law
for a person previously convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or
ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce.
Davis pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm
by a previously convicted felon, an offense that carries a maximum term of
imprisonment of 10 years, and one count of possession of heroin with intent to
distribute, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years. Judge Dooley scheduled sentencing for August
7, 2019.
This matter is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the New Haven Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant
U.S. Attorney Nathaniel Gentile.
