Description: Orlando, Florida felony firearm criminal defense lawyer represented Defendant, Raymond Lee Kelly, ate 53, who was charged with being a felony in possession of a firearm.

Kelly, a convicted felon, fled from a traffic stop in Cocoa Beach—first in a car that he crashed shortly after fleeing—then on foot toward the beach. As he fled, he left behind cannabis, a digital scale, a Ruger semi-automatic handgun, and 16 rounds of ammunition. As a previously convicted felon, Kelly is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition under federal law.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Cocoa Beach Police Department, with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney E. Jackson Boggs Jr.

This is another case prosecuted as part of the Department of Justice’s “Project Safe Neighborhoods” Program (PSN), which is a nationwide, crime reduction strategy aimed at decreasing violent crime in communities. It involves a comprehensive approach to public safety — one that includes investigating and prosecuting crimes, along with prevention and reentry efforts. In the Middle District of Florida, U.S. Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez coordinates PSN efforts in cooperation with various federal, state, and local law enforcement officials.
