Jeffrey Crutchfield was indicted by a Montgomery County Grand Jury on 40 counts of having weapons while under disability.
Is this just another term for "prohibited Person" or "convicted Felon"?
Nearest I can figure this is in Ohio.

I’m at a loss for what that means as well. I guess if could mean he has a mental disability that lead him to be a prohibited person. Then they say for him having a felony conviction. I don’t know n

No, a felony conviction itself isn't automatically called a disability under laws like the ADA, but it creates
legal disabilities (like losing voting rights, firearms, etc.), and can affect Social Security benefits if the medical impairment arose from the crime or incarceration; however, a felony conviction alone doesn't block SSDI/SSI if you meet medical criteria and aren't incarcerated, though your benefits can pause while jailed over 30 days.

"Crutchfield was not allowed to have guns due to a prior felony conviction"
Pretty sure they are referring to a legal disability aka prohibited persons.

In law, "while under disability" means a person is legally restricted from certain activities, most commonly possessing firearms, due to specific disqualifying conditions like felony convictions, domestic violence orders, drug dependency, or being deemed mentally incompetent. It's a legal status that removes certain rights (like gun ownership or even voting/holding office) because a person is deemed unfit due to past actions or current conditions, impacting their capacity to exercise those rights responsibly.

I’ve never seen it that way in a new article. Thanks.
