Floyd Clark, a 22-year-old previously convicted felon from the District of Columbia, has been handed a 48-month federal prison sentence for unlawful possession of a modified firearm, officially announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro. This sentence is a result of Clark pleading guilty to possessing a Glock 22 .40 caliber pistol converted into a machine gun. Judge Timothy J. Kelly presided over the case and mandated that Clark will also face a three-year period of supervised release after serving time, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.
On March 8, 2025, Clark encountered police while driving an Infiniti Q50, a vehicle that matched a prior shooting incident's description. Upon police approach, Clark and an unidentified passenger abandoned the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. Clark was apprehended shortly after, and the police discovered the loaded modified Glock inside the car. The handgun was tied to an earlier episode on March 1 where 14 rounds were fired in the Lincoln Heights area, fortunately, without resulting in any casualties. In another viewing, surveillance video showcased two individuals shooting from the very same Infiniti that Clark was later caught driving, U.S. Attorney Pirro mentioned in the same announcement.
Clark's history with law enforcement includes guilty pleas back in April and October of 2023 for charges related to unlawful carrying of a pistol, as reflected in court records. The Metropolitan Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Washington Field Division collaborated on the investigation that led to Clark's arrest. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared English and former Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Monica Svetoslavov prosecuted the case.
