Bangor Man Handed 3-Year Prison Sentence for Felon in Possession of Firearm
A Bangor man is facing the consequences of his actions after being sentenced to 3 years in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
On January 17, 2024, Toman Caudill, 31, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Bangor. His sentence, handed down by U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr., includes 36 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
The charges against Caudill stem from an incident in September 2023, when officers with the Bangor Police Department responded to a report of a handgun being fired in a residential area. A bystander directed officers to Caudill, who was taken into custody after a box of 9mm ammunition was found in his backpack.
Further investigation revealed that Caudill had discharged a Ruger 9mm pistol and then handed the firearm to his fiancée as police approached. The Ruger 9mm pistol was recovered and seized, as was the ammunition from Caudill’s backpack.
Caudill is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition due to multiple prior felony convictions. The Bangor Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case.
Caudill’s actions are a stark reminder of the consequences of breaking the law. As a felon, he is prohibited from possessing firearms, and his actions put himself and others at risk. His 3-year prison sentence serves as a warning to others who may think they can get away with similar crimes.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of community involvement in keeping neighborhoods safe. The bystander who directed police to Caudill played a crucial role in keeping the community safe, and their actions should be commended.
