Felon in Possession of a Firearm Arrested in Worcester
A Worcester man has been indicted on a firearm and ammunition offense. Ahmed Sullay, 25, was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
According to charging documents, Sullay was arrested by police on November 18, 2020 for possessing a loaded Jimenez Arms pistol. This arrest raises concerns about the safety of the community, and law enforcement agencies are taking a proactive approach to prevent such incidents.
Sullay is prohibited from possessing a firearm due to prior convictions. The charging statute provides for a sentence of up to ten years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program that brings together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. PSN is part of the renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement and the local community to develop effective, locally-based strategies to reduce violent crime.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Danial E. Bennett of Mendell’s Worcester Branch Office is prosecuting the case. Acting United States Attorney Nathaniel R. Mendell, Kelly Brady, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, Boston Field Division, and Worcester Police Chief Steven M. Sargent made the announcement.
The details contained in the indictment are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
