Florida man accused of brandishing gun in crowded bar

FLORIDA – A Florida man has been indicted after he allegedly brandished a gun in a crowded bar.

Terrance Paul Snow, 22, of North Fort Myers, has been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, said United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg, who announced the return of an indictment charging Snow on Thursday.

If convicted, Snow faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison.

The indictment also notifies Snow that the United States intends to forfeit a Taurus Model 85 .38 Special revolver and four rounds of .38 ammunition, which are alleged to be traceable to the offense.

According to court proceedings, on January 8, 2023, Snow was at a bar in New Port Richey. After a verbal dispute with other patrons of the bar, Snow reportedly pulled a small black revolver out of his waistband and pointed it at the patrons.

Officers from the New Port Richey Police Department responded to the scene and said they apprehended Snow a short distance from the bar. Allegedly, the officers located a black Taurus Model 85 .38 Special revolver hidden behind a dumpster near the location where Snow was apprehended.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida (USAO), at the time of the incident, Snow was serving a five-year probation term related to his prior federal felony conviction for conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery.

As a convicted felon, Snow is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition under federal law, the USAO said in a statement.

An indictment is a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the New Port Richey Police Department. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David P. Sullivan.
