View as a webpage / Share   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 9, 2025 Kevin Nash (410) 209-4946 USAMD.Press@usdoj.gov​​​​ BALTIMORE MAN SENTENCED TO MORE THAN SIX YEARS IN PRISON FOR POSSESSION OF FIREARM AND AMMUNITION BY PROHIBITED PERSON Baltimore, Maryland – U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Maddox sentenced Derek Harvey, 36, of Baltimore, Maryland, to 78 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for possession of a firearm and ammunition by a prohibited person. Kelly O. Hayes, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, announced the sentence with Special Agent in Charge Toni M. Crosby, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). On January 26, 2024, while observing a Citi Watch Camera (CCTV), a Baltimore City Police Department (BPD) detective observed a hand-to-hand gun exchange on Milton Avenue. The detective saw Harvey and his co-defendant, Robert Jackson, walking southbound on North Milton Avenue in Baltimore. Jackson reached into his hoodie and pulled out a tan handgun and handed it to Harvey, who then placed the gun in his waistband. BPD detectives arrested both men shortly after observing the weapon exchange, seizing the firearm and ammunition. Due to prior felony convictions, both men were prohibited from possessing the weapon and ammunition.   This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.  On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results. U.S. Attorney Hayes commended the ATF and BPD for their help in the investigation. Ms. Hayes also thanked Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Kertisha Dixon who prosecuted the case.

AN OXFORD CLUB PUBLICATION

Loyal reader since December 2024

THE SHORTEST WAY TO A RICH LIFE The Earnings Shockwave: Are You Ready? Rachel Gearhart, Publisher, The Oxford Club Dear Reader, The latest earnings season has been full of surprises - both good and bad. From unexpected rallies to shocking drops, traders who positioned themselves correctly have seen incredible returns. Imagine if you knew exactly when and how to trade on earnings surprises like the recent pops from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Carrier Global (CARR), which skyrocketed after reporting unexpected profits. AMD, for instance, stunned Wall Street with earnings driven by a massive 57% increase in data center sales... Carrier Global's stock soared over 11% after the company smashed expectations and raised its outlook. Trading during earnings season is crucial - but guessing won't cut it... That's why trading legend Nate Bear is detailing his No. 1 strategy for earnings season around a rare market phenomenon that he calls "Opening Bell Aftershocks." In some cases, these "aftershocks" turn earnings winners into potential 300%+ gains within minutes of the 9:30 a.m. opening bell. Imagine placing a trade at 9:30 a.m. ET... Then exiting for 100%, 200%, even 300% winner within MINUTES... And going about the rest of your day. Even Harvard, the Fed, and the SEC have studied this anomaly. Click here now to see how it works. The next Opening Bell Aftershock could set up as early as tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.... So watch this video NOW!
