Two convicted felons arrested following ATF search

Agents with Federal Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) Memphis Violent Crime Impact Team (VCIT), assisted by several other agencies, searched a residence July 7 at 85 Jamar Lane in northeast Chester County. Agents confiscated several guns, a large amount of ammunition, and grenades resulting in two arrests.

According to a release from the ATF, defendants Romie Gray, a black male, and Donald Cherry, a white male, were arrested for violations of Tile 18 922(g)(1) and Title 26 5861. Both the arrest and search warrants were executed without incident, and the investigation is ongoing.

Seized from the residence during the search warrants were several firearms to include, approximately 125,000 rounds of ammunition, six suspected smoke grenades, and suspected silencers. Additionally, several thousands dollars in United States currency and a Toyota van, allegedly used for the transportation and sale of the machineguns, were seized from the residence.

This investigation is the result of a two-month undercover operation where two machineguns, nine firearms, 2,500 rounds of ammunition and a small quantity of narcotics were allegedly purchased from two convicted felons.

Agencies assisting in the operation included ATF Memphis VCIT, Shelby and Chester County Sheriff’s Offices, Henderson Police Department, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Jackson Police Gang Unit, Jackson Police Narcotics, and the Customs and Border Protection Air Wing.

Here is the most up to date info about the folks that were buying and selling guns.. some even being uzi machine guns.
The only connection we had with them was when we put some land up for sale and they purchased it.
We never know what is going on behind closed doors.

But here is the story The Jackson Sun reported on 07/20/09

"A federal grand jury indicted five Chester County residents today on various firearm charges, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Tennessee.



Carolyn Cherry, 54, Donald Adair Cherry, 81, Donald Floyd Cherry, 54, Romie Gray, 34, and Terenda Thomas, 38, were indicted, the release said.

The five defendants were charged in a 16-count indictment. The indictment alleges that Carolyn Cherry and Donald Floyd Cherry aided and abetted each other to assist Donald Floyd Cherry, who is a previously convicted felon, in the acquisition and illegal possession of more than 150 firearms. They both are also charged with the possession of prohibited weapons, including Uzi-type machine guns.

Donald Floyd Cherry is additionally charged with being a felon in possession of ammunition. If convicted, Carolyn Cherry faces up to 20 years in federal prison and Donald Floyd Cherry faces up to 40 years.

Terenda Thomas and Romie Gray are charged with being felons in possession of firearms, including Uzi-type machine guns, and for aiding and abetting each other, on several occasions, in the sale and distribution of firearms to an individual who they knew was also a previously convicted felon. If convicted, Thomas faces up to 30 years in federal prison and Gray faces up to 90 years.

Donald Adair Cherry was charged in one count as being a previously convicted felon in possession of several firearms. The count carries a penalty of up to 10 years in federal prison.

This case stemmed from a two-month undercover investigation where, according to a complaint filed earlier in federal court, on several occasions an undercover ATF agent bought from Romie Gray firearms that Gray had acquired from the residence of Carolyn and Donald Floyd Cherry.

In the execution of a federal search warrant, about 195 weapons, six of which were prohibited weapons, 125,000 rounds of ammunition,$8,000 in cash, six smoke grenades and 12 suspected silencers were seized, the release said.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; U. S. Customs and Border Patrol Air and Marine Division; the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation; Chester County Sheriff’s Office; Henderson Police Department and the Jackson Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney James Powell will prosecute the case for the government."
