Camden County Man with Fourteen Prior Felonies Found Guilty of Unlawfully Possessing Firearm and Ammunition

CAMDEN, N.J. - A Camden County man with a felony criminal record was convicted by a federal jury for possessing a loaded revolver, U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer announced.

Michael Webb, 42, of Camden, New Jersey, was convicted on June 18, 2026, of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition following a jury trial before U.S. District Judge Edward S. Kiel in Camden federal court. Sentencing is scheduled for October 28, 2026.

According to the evidence presented at trial, publicly filed documents, and statements made in court:

In May 2024, members of the United States Marshals Service's Regional Fugitive Task Force in Camden, New Jersey, received a request from Colorado for assistance with arresting Webb based on a warrant for violating the conditions of his Colorado parole. On May 13, 2024, Task Force officers went to the area of 34th and Rowe Street in Camden, after receiving information that Webb might be staying at this location. Later that day, a Task Force officer saw Webb leave a residence, enter a car, and drive down Rowe Street. When the Task Force officer tried to stop Webb's car, Webb fled the scene. He sped away from the officer, crashed into a parked car, and ran away. While Webb was running away from the Task Force officer, he pointed a gun at a Camden resident. Webb ran through private property and jumped over fences, until he finally reached a black metal gate that he was unable to climb over. The Task Force officer arrested Webb near this black metal gate and saw a fully loaded silver revolver in the grass on the opposite side of the gate. Webb's DNA was found on the silver revolver.

Webb was previously convicted of fourteen felonies, including bias-motivated crime causing bodily injury in Colorado in 2021 and aggravated assaults with firearms in Camden in 2017 and 2019.

The charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition carries a maximum potential penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

U.S. Attorney Frazer credited special agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Newark Field Division, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Beau Kolodka; deputy marshals and task force officers with the United States Marshals Service in the District of New Jersey, under the direction of Acting U.S. Marshal Nicholas A. Ricigliano, Jr.; and officers of the Camden County Police Department, under the direction of Chief Gabriel Rodriguez; and the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, under the direction of Prosecutor Grace C. MacAulay, with the investigation leading to the conviction.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Josephine J. Park and Elisa T. Wiygul of the U.S. Attorney's Office's Criminal Division in Camden.
