Alabama man linked to 1997 murder for hire, attempted murder jailed on gun charge after gambling raid Posted May 11, 2021 By Tim Lockette The Anniston Star, Ala. (TNS) and Tribune Media Services An Anniston man arrested on federal firearms charges last month will stay in custody pending his trial, a federal magistrate judge ruled on Friday. Jack David Stovall, 72, will remain in jail because “no condition or combination of conditions of release will reasonably assure the safety of any other person and the community,” U.S. Magistrate Judge John England wrote in a court order Friday. Stovall was arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm as a convicted felon last month after a countywide raid on suspected gambling operations. Police seized 75 illegal gambling machines in those raids, along with guns and narcotics.
