A Bronx, New York, man was sentenced today to 110 months in prison for knowingly possessing two handguns despite being a previously convicted felon, Acting U.S. Attorney William E. Fitzpatrick announced.
Judge Shipp today imposed the sentence for Jamal Williams, 41, who previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Michael A. Shipp to an information charging him with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
On Nov. 11, 2014, law enforcement officers arrested Williams in Trenton. After searching his residence and a storage unit he rented, they found two 9mm Ruger pistols and 16 rounds of ammunition.
Williams had previously been convicted of narcotics trafficking and unlawful weapons possession felonies in New Jersey and New York state courts.
