For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Alabama

MOBILE, AL – Daryl Lowe, a Mobile man, has been sentenced to 63 months in federal prison for possessing a firearm as a previously convicted felon.  The sentence was imposed by United States District Judge Terry F. Moorer.

According to court documents, in July 2023, members of the Mobile Police Department (MPD) responded to a burglary in progress call. Lowe was captured on home surveillance entering a home and removing firearms. Within hours, MPD located and arrested Lowe. Lowe was in possession of two firearms he had stolen from the home he had just burglarized. Lowe is a convicted felon and is prohibited from possession a firearm. Lowe has an extensive criminal history including multiple burglary and property crime convictions.

At sentencing, Judge Moore imposed a 63-month sentence of incarceration and a 3-year term of supervised release upon Lowe’s discharge from prison. Lowe’s state burglary charge arising out of these events remains pending.

The Mobile Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives investigated the case. Assistant United States Attorney Beth Stepan prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States. 

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), 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. On May 26, 2021, the department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
