Gregory J. Haanstad, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that on December 17, 2024, a federal grand jury issued a two count indictment alleging that Donta E. Bradshaw (age: 42) of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, violated Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(g)(1), 922(u), 924(i)(1), and 924(a)(8).

According to the indictment, on or about November 19, 2024, Bradshaw knowingly stole a Ruger semi-automatic 9mm pistol from a federally licensed firearms dealer located in Oshkosh. As a convicted felon, Bradshaw is prohibited from ever possessing a firearm under state and federal law. If found guilty, Bradshaw faces up to 15 years’ imprisonment on the possession charge and up to 10 years’ imprisonment for the theft of the firearm.

This case was investigated by the Oshkosh Police Department, the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office, and the Milwaukee office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel R. Humble.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt.  The defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove his guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
