West Mifflin Felon Charged with Unlawful Possession of Ammunition

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - A resident of West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on a charge of possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, United States Attorney Troy Rivetti announced today.

The one-count Indictment named Davion Xavier Thompson, 22, as the sole defendant.

According to the Indictment, on January 23, 2026, Thompson, who had been previously convicted of a felony, knowingly possessed a Glock-style handgun with an extended magazine. Attached to the rear of the unserialized firearm was a machinegun conversion device, also known as a Glock switch. Under federal law, Thompson is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition as a result of his multiple prior felony convictions involving firearms.

The law provides for a maximum total sentence of up to 15 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, or both. Under the federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history of the defendant.

Assistant United States Attorney Kelly M. Locher is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General's Narcotics Task Force, Allegheny County District Attorney's Narcotics Enforcement Team, Stowe Township Police Department, and McKees Rocks Police Department conducted the investigation leading to the Indictment.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

An indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
