Jordan Pack, one of the Atlanta Police Department's most wanted fugitives, has been sentenced for multiple firearm-related offenses. He received a 66-month prison term followed by three years of supervised release. The sentencing was handed down by Chief District Judge Timothy C. Batten, Sr., after Pack pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon and one count of unlawful possession of ammunition by a convicted felon.

"Pack continued to possess firearms and commit violent offenses after being previously convicted of a violent felony," stated Acting U.S. Attorney Richard S. Moultrie, Jr. He emphasized that the case highlights effective law enforcement partnerships that lead to successful prosecutions of repeat offenders like Pack.

Special Agent in Charge Benjamin Gibbons remarked on the importance of accountability for those with criminal histories: "This sentence reflects ATF commitment to ensure that those with a history of crime are held accountable."

Pack's criminal history dates back to October 2008 when he was convicted of armed robbery involving a firearm in Douglasville, Georgia. Following his release from prison in April 2018, Pack was involved in several incidents leading to his recent charges.

In October 2021, Pack was arrested in Dacula, Georgia, where officers found him carrying live .38 caliber ammunition and discovered he had discarded a loaded revolver nearby. In June 2022, following a domestic dispute in Northwest Atlanta, Pack allegedly fired shots into the air during an altercation at a residence.

The Atlanta Police Department apprehended Pack in August 2022 at an apartment complex where he worked as an armed security guard under the alias "William Tate." At the time of his arrest, officers found him with various weapons including a semi-automatic shotgun and pistol.

The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) alongside the Atlanta Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Joshua May led the prosecution team.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), aiming to reduce violent crime through community collaboration and strategic enforcement priorities.
