A Homestead man was indicted by a federal grand jury for firearms violations, authorities announced Wednesday.

Michael William Horvwalt, 32, was accused of having a firearm and ammunition on Jan. 8, despite having prior felony convictions, authorities said.

The U.S. Probation Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives conducted the investigation leading to the indictment.
