Kingston Man Charged With Felon In Possession Of Firearm

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 SCRANTON – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Ahmyr Younger, age 19, of Kingston, Pennsylvania, was charged by criminal complaint June 30, 2021, with illegal possession of a firearm.

According to Acting United States Attorney Bruce D. Brandler, the complaint alleges that on June 30, 2021 in Luzerne County, Younger illegally possessed a 9mm handgun after having been previously convicted of a felony.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.  Assistant United States Attorney Sean Camoni is prosecuting the case.

This case is being prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts.  PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime.  Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them.  As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.

Indictments and Criminal Informations and Complaints are only allegations. All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.

A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

The maximum penalty under federal law for this offense is 10 years of imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the Judge is also required to consider and weigh a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public and provide for the defendant’s educational, vocational and medical needs. For these reasons, the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant.
