Duckett was indicted in May on three counts of being a felon illegally in possession of a firearm. He's a five-time previously convicted felon, officials said.

When he was arrested, he was found with a box of ammunition and a stolen 9mm pistol, ATF said.

A $5,000 reward had previously been issued for information leading to his arrest.
