BOSTON — A 33-year-old New Bedford man pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to possessing a firearm and ammunition on the grounds of a Foxborough elementary school, including a Glock pistol equipped with a machine-gun conversion device.
Jameel Clark-White pleaded guilty Aug. 26, 2026, in U.S. District Court in Boston to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition and possessing a firearm in a school zone. U.S. District Court Judge Angel Kelley scheduled his sentencing for Dec. 11.
According to court documents and admissions made during the plea hearing, Clark-White traveled from New Bedford to Foxborough on the morning of June 12, 2025, to attend a function at the Charles G. Taylor Elementary School.
Before the event, Clark-White was involved in a collision with another vehicle in the school’s parking lot. As police were responding to investigate the crash, Clark-White discarded a .45-caliber Glock pistol equipped with a machine-gun conversion device, along with two additional loaded magazines, underneath two parked vehicles in the school parking lot.
Clark-White left the scene just minutes later and was not arrested until July 22, 2025.
Because of previous felony convictions, Clark-White was prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition.
A federal grand jury indicted Clark-White in September 2025.
The charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison, up to three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. The school-zone firearm charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, up to one year of supervised release and a fine of up to $100,000.
Any sentence will be imposed by a federal district court judge based on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and applicable federal statutes.
U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley and Thomas Greco, special agent in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives’ Boston Field Division, announced the guilty plea.
The Foxborough Police Department and U.S. Marshals Service also assisted in the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney David Cutshall of the Organized Crime & Gang Unit is prosecuting the case.
