CLEVELAND, Ohio – A federal indictment charges a Salineville man with maintaining a drug-involved premises and being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
According to a press release, Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, announced that a federal grand jury sitting in Cleveland, Ohio, returned a two-count indictment charging Anthony Cunningham, age 56, of Salineville, Ohio, with maintaining a drug-involved premises and being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Cunningham is accused of maintaining a place on State Route 39 in Salineville, Ohio, for the purpose of distributing heroin and cocaine between June 2013 and July 2013, according to the indictment. The indictment also charges Cunningham with possessing an American Derringer, model 1, .40 Derringer and Federal .40 caliber ammunition on August 2, 2013.
Cunningham’s prior convictions include bank robbery in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio and felonious assault with a firearm specification in the Stark County, Ohio, Court of Common Pleas.
If convicted, Cunningham’s sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to the case, including his prior criminal record, his role in the offense, and the characteristics of the violations.
The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Columbiana County Task Force. The matter is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David M. Toepfer.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
