Previously Convicted Felon Sentenced in Carrying Loaded Pistol at Anacostia Metro Station

WASHINGTON - Jonathan McCrimmon, 28, a previously convicted felon residing in the District of Columbia, was sentenced today to 12 months in prison in connection with his unlawful possession of a pistol at a Metro station in Anacostia, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.

McCrimmon pleaded guilty on Jan. 6, 2026, before U.S. District Court Judge Carl J. Nichols to one count of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon. In addition to the 12-month prison sentence, Judge Nichols ordered McCrimmon to serve three years of supervised release. Government prosecutors had requested a sentence of 12 months.

According to court documents, on Sept. 17, 2025, just before 6 p.m., members of the Metro Transit Police Department stopped McCrimmon for publicly smoking marijuana in the Anacostia Metro Station parking garage. Officers patted him down and recovered a silver Armi Galesi .25 caliber pistol from his inner leg. The Italian-made firearm was loaded with one round in the chamber.

Officers also determined that McCrimmon had an outstanding warrant out of Prince George's County, Maryland, and placed him under arrest as a fugitive from justice.

In a post-arrest interview, McCrimmon acknowledged his status as a convicted felon, that he understood he was prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition, and that he had been carrying the loaded pistol recovered by officers.

McCrimmon was previously convicted of second-degree burglary in Prince George's County, Maryland, for which he was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

This case was investigated by the Metro Transit Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Washington Field Division. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua Satter.

This case was prosecuted under the Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful initiative.

Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful is a law enforcement initiative in support of President Trump's Executive Order to crack down on gun violence, prioritize federal firearms violations, pursue tougher penalties, and seek detention for federal firearms violators.
