WILMINGTON, Del. (August 14, 2026) – A Wilmington man pleaded guilty on August 14, 2026 to illegally possessing two firearms as a convicted felon. U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Hall accepted the plea. According to court documents, Randy Wright, 44, was caught with distribution quantities of marijuana, cocaine, and fentanyl during a vehicle stop in October 2024. A subsequent search of his apartment revealed a tight crawlspace adjacent to Wright’s bedroom, inside of which investigators found additional fentanyl, a loaded Springfield XD9 9mm semi-automatic handgun, and a loaded Taurus PT945 .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun. Wright admitted to possessing both firearms in furtherance of his drug-trafficking activities. He committed this offense after previously sustaining multiple drug-related felony convictions in the State of Delaware. “Randy Wright is an admitted drug dealer with a concerning criminal history who introduced deadly drugs to our communities,” said U.S. Attorney Benjamin L. Wallace. “Drug traffickers who arm themselves present an even greater danger. Together with ATF and the Wilmington Police Department, my office will continue to do its part to stop armed drug traffickers from harming the people of Delaware.” "On a daily basis, our police officers work to remove illegal guns and drugs from our city streets, and our strong partnerships with the ATF and the United States Attorney's Office help to ensure that dangerous offenders are held accountable," said Wilmington Police Chief Wilfredo Campos. "We hope that this case, and the federal prison sentence that will follow for this offender, will continue to send the message that gun and drug crimes will not be tolerated." Wright pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm as a prohibited person. He faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine the sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. Sentencing is scheduled for December 10, 2026. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Wilmington Police Department investigated the case.
