Four area men arrested on federal gun charges

Four area men have been arrested following federal indictments on gun charges.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Enterprise Police Department announced the arrests Feb. 24.

Everett Santell Hornsby, 40, from Enterprise was indicted on two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Carneilrous Flucker, 30, from Daleville was indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Alex Tyrone McNair, 48, from Enterprise was indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm and being in possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

Darrell Darnell Thomas, 39, from Enterprise was indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

An indictment is merely an allegation that a crime has been committed. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

All individuals named above made their initial appearance in federal court in Montgomery on the same day they were arrested. If convicted, each of the accused are facing a maximum sentence of ten years in prison. There is no parole in the federal system.

These cases are part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. The Department of Justice reinvigorated PSN as part of the department’s renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement to develop effective, locally based strategies to reduce violent crime.

United States Attorney Sandra J. Stewart credits the Enterprise Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for investigating these cases, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Justin Jones, Russell Duraski, Stephen Moulton, and Eric Counts are prosecuting the cases.
