He was charged with one count of illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Harvey was previously convicted of multiple felonies, including gun offenses, and was not legally allowed to have a firearm.
The rifle in Harvey's possession was reported stolen from Element Armament in New Whiteland a few weeks earlier.

Surveillance video of the suspects was released. Just days later, police detained four persons of interest in the thefts.
