Terrance Kelly, 37, was sentenced to 21 months in prison for unlawfully possessing a firearm while on supervised probation. The sentencing took place in U.S. District Court, as announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
Kelly pleaded guilty on December 4, 2025, to one count of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon. Judge Dabney L. Friedrich also ordered Kelly to serve three years of supervised release after completing his prison term.
Court documents state that on August 28, 2025, Special Police Officers detained Kelly after he threatened one of the officers. During the incident, Kelly handed over a small satchel he had been carrying; inside was a loaded Glock 23 .40 caliber pistol with a magazine containing 22 cartridges.
Kelly has eight prior convictions from 2006 to 2025. These include three for driving under the influence, two for assault, two for unlawful possession of a firearm, and convictions for resisting a public officer and assaulting a police officer. At the time of his arrest with the pistol in his satchel, he was on supervised probation for a felony.
The Metropolitan Police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kate Naseef prosecuted it.
“Terrance Kelly, 37, a previously convicted felon residing in the District of Columbia, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court for illegally carrying a firearm while on supervised probation,” said U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
