Southbury Man Sentenced to 5 Years in Federal Prison for Unlawfully Possessing Sawed-Off Shotguns and Silencers
Anthony Englehardt, 44, of Southbury, Connecticut, was sentenced to 60 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for unlawfully possessing sawed-off shotguns and silencers.
Englehardt was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge Omar A. Williams in Hartford after pleading guilty on April 18, 2024, to possession of unregistered National Firearms Act firearms and silencers.
The investigation began on March 13, 2023, when Torrington Police received a report that Englehardt used a rifle to shoot a hole in the ceiling of a Torrington residence. At the time, Englehardt was subject to a protective order issued by the Waterbury Superior Court that required him to surrender all of his firearms and ammunition.
On March 14, 2023, Connecticut State Police stopped Englehardt’s vehicle, took him into custody, and charged him with multiple offenses.Later that day, a search of Englehardt’s Southbury residence revealed 10 firearms, six silencers, more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, and various firearms parts and accessories.
Three of the firearms were sawed-off shotguns and were not registered pursuant to the National Firearms Act. The six silencers also were not registered.
Englehardt has been detained since his federal arrest on May 25, 2023. He must serve his first six months of supervised release in home confinement.
The matter was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), with the assistance of the Connecticut State Police, Torrington Police Department, and Southbury Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Katherine E. Boyles.
