One of the Atlanta Police Department's most sought-after fugitives, Jordan Pack, has been sentenced to 66 months in prison for multiple firearms offenses. Pack, also known by the alias "William Tate," was previously convicted of a violent felony and was on probation when he committed the latest crimes, as reported by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia. The sentence includes three years of supervised release following his incarceration.
According to statements from Acting U.S. Attorney Richard S. Moultrie, Jr., Pack's conviction is "another example of the effective law enforcement partnerships in our district." Special Agent in Charge Benjamin Gibbons reflected on the sentence's significance, noting, "Convicted felons possessing firearms presents a danger to the community," according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. In October 2008, Pack was sentenced to 20 years in prison for armed robbery and was released in April 2018.
The incidents leading up to Pack's latest conviction occurred in 2021 and 2022, involving possession of firearms and an incident where Pack threatened to shoot a woman and fired multiple shots into the air in a domestic dispute. The woman and her young child were present in the home at the time. Law enforcement's efforts eventually led to Pack's arrest while he was working as an armed security guard under a false name at an apartment complex in Southwest Atlanta. A subsequent search resulted in the seizure of various weapons and ammunition.
March 6, 2024, marked the day Chief District Judge Timothy C. Batten, Sr. handed down Pack's sentence after a guilty plea was made on November 12, 2024. The case falls under Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), part of a larger violent crime reduction strategy aiming to make neighborhoods safer by reducing violent crime and gun violence.
For more information about the case and PSN, the U.S. Attorney's Office invites interested parties to contact the Public Affairs Office or visit their website. The collective efforts of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Atlanta Police Department brought this case to a close, with former Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jesika French and Norman Barnett, along with Assistant United States Attorney Joshua May, leading the prosecution.
