Man Gets Federal Prison Time For Weapon Possession During Shooting
July 2, 2015
An Escambia County man is headed to federal prison on a weapons charge in connection with shooting last year at a nightclub.
Darius Devon Williams was sentenced to 14.5 years for possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. His DNA was found on the weapon, according to prosecutors.
The shooting happened in the parking lot of Gene’s Lounge off West Navy Boulevard in late September 2014. The victim survived.
Williams still faces multiple state charges for the shooting.

Nope. It’s 85% in the federal system IF they earn all their good time. If not, it’s 100%
The State system has more latitude for them getting out early than the federal system does. (I work for the feds).
Actually, you are also confusing the state and federal system. State requires 85%. Federal is the exact time you receive if I’m not mistaken. This guy got federal time so I expect he will do most if not all of the sentence.
14.5 years is easy time for this one. This is a career criminal, he is not going to change. Just look at the smug look of his mug shot, the only thing he cares about is the fact that he got caught…
No, Bob’s Brother, he won’t get out in half that. He will be REQUIRED to serve a minimum of 85% of his time in the federal system. He will have to be a good boy in order to keep his good conduct time. If he’s not, he’ll do MORE than the 85%. You are comparing the federal system to the state system.
14.5 years? He’ll actually serve around half of that if history is correct. When this dude gets out in 7 or so years, what will the powers that be do when he’s again caught with a gun? Our laws that deal with felons in possession of firearms don’t have enough bite. If the law was an instant life sentence, there would be a much lower offense rate.
