AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF CRIMINAL COMPLAINT
I, Marvin Anthony, being duly sworn, state:
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1. I submit this affidavit in support of a criminal complaint and arrest
warrant for Darryl Lamar KING, for a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) (felon in
possession of a firearm).
2. I submit this affidavit for the limited purpose of establishing probable
cause that Darryl Lamar KING violated 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Therefore, the
affidavit does not include all the information known to law enforcement related to
this investigation.
3. I am a Sergeant with the City of Detroit Police Department, where I
have been employed since February 2014. I was promoted to the rank of Sergeant
in February 2022, and I am currently assigned to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation Violent Crime Task Force (“VCTF”) as a Task Force Officer
(“TFO”). The VCTF is a specialized unit formed in collaboration with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) and others.
4. I have over 12 years of law enforcement experience and more than 10
years working in an investigative capacity with the Detroit Police Department and
FBI. I have specialized in firearm-related investigations throughout my career. This
includes conducting firearm-related investigations and arrests.
Case 2:26-mj-30287-DUTY ECF No. 1, PageID.3 Filed 05/15/26 Page 3 of 7
5. During my law enforcement career, I have participated in numerous
federal and state criminal investigations involving firearms, violent crime, and
drug trafficking, including investigations involving violations of 18 U.S.C. §
922(g)(1). I have participated in various aspects of these criminal investigations,
including conducting interviews, physical surveillance, and obtaining and
executing federal and state search warrants.
6. As an FBI TFO, I am authorized to investigate violations of law of the
United States and to execute warrants issued under the authority of the United
States.
7. The information set forth in this affidavit is based on my personal
knowledge from participating in this investigation, including reviewing reports
written by other law enforcement personnel, collaborating with other law
enforcement personnel involved with the investigation, interviewing an
eyewitness, and my training and experience.
PROBABLE CAUSE
8. The FBI is currently conducting a criminal investigation concerning
Darryl Lamar KING for a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), felon in possession
of a firearm.

9. On May 12, 2026, Detroit Police Department officers responded to a
Dollar General store at 1727 E. State Fair, Detroit, Michigan, which is located in
the Eastern District of Michigan.
10. As officers were traveling to the Dollar General, they were flagged
down near the Dollar General by the victim (“VC”), who stated that an individual,
later identified as Darryl Lamar KING (“KING”) had stolen liquid laundry
detergent from the Dollar General and was currently walking down the street. The
VC stated that he went to confront KING regarding the theft, at which time KING
produced a handgun and pointed it at him.
11. The officers conducted a canvass of the area as advised by the VC and
observed KING walking away from the location pushing a bicycle and detained
him pending further investigation.
12. With assistance from the VC, the officers were directed to a vacant
field near where the VC observed KING go prior to the officers’ arrival. While
canvassing the area, an officer observed and recovered a black Ruger LC380 pistol
bearing serial number 32643960 (“Ruger”) and an inside the waistband (“IWB”)
handgun holster lying on the ground. An IWB holster is commonly used by
handgun owners to secure their firearm on their person and concealed from public
view.

13. On May 13, 2026, I conducted a follow-up interview with the VC,
who stated that on the date of the incident, he observed that when KING exited the
Dollar General, his jacket appeared extremely puffy. The VC stated that as KING
began walking away from the Dollar General pushing a bicycle, the VC
approached him and asked, “What did you steal?” The VC stated that KING
replied, “Here, you can take this shit back.” The VC stated that KING then
removed a container of liquid detergent from his jacket and threw it at the VC.
14. The VC stated that he grabbed the container and threw it back at
KING, striking him. The VC stated that after KING was struck with the container,
KING stated, “Now you done fucked up” and pulled a black handgun from his
waistband and pointed it towards the VC.
15. The VC stated that KING began to walk away and that when officers
arrived, KING changed direction and ran towards a vacant field in the immediate
proximity of where the VC had observed KING with the handgun.
King’s Criminal History
16. A review of KING’s criminal history revealed that he has several
prior felony convictions including convictions in 1993 for Armed Robbery and
Felony Firearm in Detroit Recorders Court. In that case, KING was sentenced to a
prison term of six months to 10 years on the Armed Robbery and a prison term of
two years on the Felony Firearm. Therefore, I believe that when KING possessed

the Ruger on May 12, 2026, he knew that he had been previously convicted of a
crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.
17. KING also has the following felony convictions:
a) 1990, Detroit Recorders Court: Del./Mfg. Controlled Substances
Less than 50 Grams.
b) 2006, 16th Circuit Court: Retail Fraud First Degree.
c) 2008, 3rd Circuit Court: Retail Fraud First Degree.
Firearms – Interstate Nexus
18. On May 14, 2026, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and
Explosives (“ATF”) Interstate Nexus expert Kara Klupacs was provided a verbal
description of the Ruger, including the serial number. Based on Special Agent
Klupacs’ training and experience, the Ruger was manufactured outside the state of
Michigan, and therefore, traveled in and affected interstate or foreign commerce.
CONCLUSION
19. Based on the above information, there is probable cause that on May
12, 2026, in the Eastern District of Michigan, Darryl Lamar KING, knowing that
he had previously been convicted of a felony, knowingly possessed a firearm;
specifically, a black Ruger LC380 pistol, in and affecting interstate or foreign
commerce in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).
