COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– A federal grand jury in Columbia returned a single-count indictment, charging a 20-year-old with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, say officials.
According to statements and filings in court, on Aug. 5, 2026, law enforcement executed a search warrant at an apartment where Karlos Damon Gibson had been staying.
Investigators say they found a.40 caliber handgun and a drum magazine containing 50 rounds of ammo in Gibson’s daughter’s crib.
They also found a.45 caliber pistol in the little girl’s closet, says the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Gibson has a prior conviction for possession with intent to distribute.
His criminal history prohibits Gibson from possessing firearms or ammunition, says the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Gibson was out on bond after being charged with being an accessary after the fact to a felony, specifically a murder.
He faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and three years of supervision to follow the term of imprisonment.
Gibson is currently detained pending trial.
