Robert Durst’s legal problems in Louisiana continued Friday when a federal grand jury indicted him on the crime of being a felon in possession of a weapon.
Durst, 71, is charged in the indictment with unlawfully possessing a .38 caliber revolver after having previously being convicted of crimes that were punishable by more than a year in jail.
Durst was indicted earlier this week in state court on gun and drug charges stemming from his arrest at a New Orleans hotel.
Durst’s attorney, Dick DeGuerin, has been trying to have his client extradited to California, where he is facing murder charges.
