Damon L. Clark, 25, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, is charged with possessing a firearm and ammunition as a felon and with possessing a machinegun.

The indictment alleges that Clark possessed a Glock handgun and Winchester ammunition on January 1, 2024. The indictment also alleges that the Glock handgun had an “auto-sear,” which is an after-market attachment that converts a semi-automatic handgun into a machinegun under federal law.

If convicted of the felon in possession charge, Clark faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. If convicted of the machine gun charge, Clark faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

The charges against Clark are the result of an investigation by the Eau Claire Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Colleen Lennon is handling the case.
