The United States Attorney, Richard W. Moore, announces that
Alan Eric Grime, a 27 year old resident of Loxley, Alabama was sentenced to 30
months of incarceration followed by three years of supervised release for
possession of a .45 caliber pistol after being convicted of Theft of Property,
1st Degree, a felony, on June 6, 2014.
On September 25, 2017, Fairhope, Alabama police officers
responded to a bus stop after someone complained of a suspicious person at that
location. The complainant gave a description of the person he/she was concerned
about. When officers arrived at the bus stop, they saw a man fitting that
description and they approached him to investigate. It was Grime. He was
nervous and told the officers he was a felon recently released from prison. One
officer then looked at the bus stop sitting area and saw a .45 caliber pistol.
Grime was then handcuffed. Next, officers received consent from Grime to take
items from his pocket. Approximately 16 rounds of .45 caliber ammunition was
seized from his pocket. Grime was then read his Miranda Rights which he waived.
Grime then told the officers that he borrowed the firearm from a friend who
lives in Foley because he was afraid. Grime pled guilty on January 17, 2018.
Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation along
with officers of the Fairhope, Alabama Police Department investigated the case
and presented it to the United States Attorney’s Office for prosecution. The
prosecutor assigned to the case was Assistant United States Attorney, Gina S.
Vann.
