Sacramento Parolee Indicted on Federal Charges for Possession, Sale of Firearms

A Sacramento man was indicted on two counts by a federal grand jury yesterday in Sacramento.

The two returned a two-count indictment charges Dezmaighne McClain, 28, with being a felon in possession of a firearm, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced.

While on a felony parole, McClain allegedly sold a firearm to an individual on July 15, 2019, after leaving the parole office. McClain sold the same individual another firearm on July 30, 2019, and continued to discuss potential firearms sales after that date.

During the search of McClain’s residence, agents recovered an AR-15 “ghost” gun with no serial number and two other firearms and ammunition.

This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michele Beckwith is prosecuting the case.

If convicted, McClain faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
