AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – Three men from the CSRA have been sentenced to prison following firearms related plea agreements, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday.
Here are the following men sentenced:
- Jordan Williams-Carswell, 26, of North Augusta, S.C., was sentenced to 41 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release and a $1,500 fine after pleading guilty to Illegal Possession of a Machinegun. Court documents and testimony show that in January 2024, Williams-Carswell was illegally in possession of a Glock Model 20, 10 mm pistol equipped with a machinegun conversion device (MCD). A MCD allows a firearm to fire multiple rounds with one pull of the trigger, converting a semi-automatic firearm into a fully automatic machinegun.
- Jordan James Perkins, 24, of Sardis, Ga., was sentenced to 33 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release and a $1,500 fine after pleading guilty to Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. In June 2025, Richmond County Sheriff’s Office attempted a traffic stop and Perkins fled. While eluding law enforcement, Perkins discarded a Glock, Model 29, 10 mm pistol from the vehicle, which deputies later discovered during a search of the area.
- Pierre Horton, 36, of Augusta, Ga., was sentenced to 33 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release and a $1,500 fine after pleading guilty to Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. In November 2025, Horton was found in possession of a Smith & Wesson, SD40, .40 caliber pistol during a traffic stop by Richmond County Sheriff’s Office.
“These cases send a clear message: illegally possessing or modifying firearms carries serious consequences,” said ATF Assistant Special Agent in Charge Brian Graves.
