A search of his vehicle on December 19 turned up a weapon with similar characteristics to the weapon used in the robbery.
He is also indicted on possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The charges could be enhanced due to federal rules on use of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime.
He is being held without bond pending trail.
A change of plea hearing has been scheduled for June 7 in U.S. District Court in Oxford.
