Natchez Man Pleads Guilty under Project EJECT
to Receiving a Firearm While Under Felony Indictment
Natchez, Miss. – Jarvanti Doss, 22, of Natchez, pled guilty yesterday before U.S. District Judge David C. Bramlette, III to receiving a firearm while under a felony indictment, announced U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst and Dana Nichols, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
On August 25, 2017, Jarvanti Keyon Doss was indicted by an Adams County Grand Jury on felony charges. On March 22, 2019, ATF agents, Adams County deputies, Natchez police officers, and probation agents of the Mississippi Department of Corrections were conducting a “saturation detail” in high-crime areas when Doss was observed by members of the detail removing a pistol from his pants. After a brief foot chase, Doss was apprehended. On April 16, 2019, Doss was charged in a federal indictment with receiving a firearm while under a felony indictment.
Doss will be sentenced by Judge Bramlette on October 1, 2019 and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Bert Carraway.
This case is part of Project EJECT, an initiative by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Mississippi under the U.S. Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN). EJECT is a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach to fighting and reducing violent crime through prosecution, prevention, re-entry and awareness. EJECT stands for “Empower Justice Expel Crime Together.” PSN is bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions reinvigorated PSN in 2017 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 and the local community to develop effective, locally-based strategies to reduce violent crime.
