A Greenville man received a federal firearm charge after allegedly shooting in the direction of law enforcement days before he was expected to surrender...
Authorities also had executed a search warrant with Google and a search warrant for Pelham’s cell phone to track his location and actions at the Capitol.
On April 12, an FBI agent called Pelham and told him about the charges and that he needed to surrender himself April 17. Pelham agreed, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas. That evening, a Hunt County sheriff’s deputy was sent to Pelham’s home for a welfare check and his daughter exited the home. Then, gunshots were heard from the home and Pelham allegedly fired toward authorities, who were not injured, the attorney’s office said.
County authorities left the home several hours later without making an arrest. Two days later, FBI agents searched Pelham’s home and found a purse with a pistol inside, boxes of ammunition and gunshot holes in the walls, according to the complaint. Pelham faces up to 15 years in federal prison on the gun charge and three years on the charges related to the 2021 U.S. Capitol breach. He is one of more than two dozen North Texas defendants charged in relation to the Jan. 6 insurrection.. Aria writes about breaking news.
