Orlando, FL - Orlando Man Sentenced To Nine Years In Prison For Possessing A Firearm
Morris Dewayne Carroll (45, Orlando) was sentenced to nine years in federal prison for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. Carroll had pleaded guilty on April 18, 2019.
According to court documents, on January 25, 2019, officers from Homeland Security Investigations and the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation encountered Carroll at an Orlando-area hotel.
