JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Clay County man is headed to federal prison after getting caught with a loaded gun during a traffic stop.
David Neil Haas, 38, was sentenced to 46 months behind bars, according to prosecutors.
Authorities found a 9mm pistol and ammunition during the stop.

Deputies pulled Haas over in August 2025 because his motorcycle didn’t have a tag, and he was driving on a suspended license.
When they checked him, they spotted a bulge in his vest and found a loaded pistol with 13 rounds.
Since Haas already had several felony convictions, it’s illegal for him to have a gun at all.
Haas was arrested in September and later pleaded guilty.
