\n

Oscar Freemond Fowler III, a repeat offender whose federal sentence was commuted in the final days of the Biden administration, has been taken back into custody to face state charges, Florida Attorney General<\/a> James Uthmeier announced Monday.<\/p>\n

“Moments ago, we took Oscar Fowler, a dangerous career criminal who was commuted by Biden\u2019s autopen, into custody to face state charges,” Uthmeier wrote in a post on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He thanked the St. Petersburg Police Department and ATF Tampa for assisting in the arrest, adding that “Florida is safer because of our local and federal law enforcement partners<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

EXCLUSIVE: BONDI DOJ TRANSFERS DEATH ROW INMATES COMMUTED BY BIDEN ‘SUPERMAX’ PRISON<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fowler had been serving a 12-year, 6-month federal prison sentence after pleading guilty in 2024 to being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession with intent to distribute cocaine.<\/p>\n

Federal prosecutors had pushed for at least 150 months behind bars, citing Fowler’s lengthy criminal history<\/a> and arguing he posed an ongoing threat to the public.<\/p>\n

Despite that record, Fowler was included in a Jan. 17, 2025 executive grant of clemency commuting the sentences of more than 2,500 inmates under President Joe Biden<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A commutation reduces a sentence but does not erase the conviction. Fowler was released from federal custody as a result.<\/p>\n

BIDEN-CLEMENCY CON TIED TO DOWNTOWN SHOOTING MONTHS AFTER EARLY RELEASE \u2013 NOW FACES FEDERAL CHARGE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The clemency warrant, issued in Washington and bearing Biden\u2019s signature<\/a>, was one of several documents critics say were executed using an autopen.<\/p>\n

Fowler\u2019s release drew scrutiny<\/a>, particularly from the Oversight Project, a conservative investigative group.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The group warned Florida officials about Fowler\u2019s release and argued his criminal history contradicted claims that the clemency initiative<\/a> focused on nonviolent offenders.<\/p>\n

FELON FREED BY BIDEN ARRESTED AFTER SHOOTING, RAISING FEARS OF MORE \u2018SECOND CHANCES\u2019 GONE WRONG<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“He is a dangerous criminal who\u2019s supposed to be in jail for a very long time,” Oversight Project President Mike Howell told Fox News Digital<\/a> at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is the exact person that should be in federal custody,” he said.<\/p>\n

As previously reported by Fox News Digital, court records show Fowler\u2019s criminal history spans more than a decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The most serious allegations involve the 2013 shooting death<\/a> of Naykee Bostic in St. Petersburg, which happened shortly after Fowler was released from a prior federal sentence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TRUMP DOUBLES DOWN ON VOIDING BIDEN AUTOPEN ACTIONS, INCLUDING PARDONS AND COMMUTATIONS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Bostic was found with 25 gunshot wounds. Fowler was charged but acquitted in 2017 after two prior mistrials.<\/p>\n

A 2024 federal sentencing memorandum cited by critics also stated that Fowler made a video-recorded admission to the killing and expressed willingness to use violence again.<\/p>\n

These were assertions prosecutors referenced when seeking a long sentence in his most recent case.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Florida attorney general’s office for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
