An Orlando convicted felon with 17 firearms pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe recently announced that 31-year-old Latchman Singh, of Orlando, pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Singh faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for September 25, 2025.
According to court documents, deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office were executing a search warrant at Singh’s residence in connection with state auto theft charges when they discover that Singh, a previously convicted felon, had 17 firearms in his closet, bedroom and kitchen.
At least two of the firearms were stolen, one firearm did not have a serial number, and one of the firearms had a silencer attached to it.
As a previously convicted felon, Singh is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law. Singh agreed to forfeit the firearms and ammunition, which were involved in the offense.
This Central Florida case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, with assistance from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Dana E. Hill.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
