Corey Faulkner, Possession of a Firearm by a Felon, Maine 2023

A Westbrook man, Corey Faulkner, 39, has been sentenced to 64 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for possession of a firearm by a felon.

According to court records, on October 2023, officers from the Westbrook Police responded to Faulkner’s residence following a 911 call reporting domestic violence. The victim reported that Faulkner had assaulted her, including by strangling her.

After fleeing the apartment, the victim called 911 and reported to officers that Faulkner possessed firearms and had made suicidal statements. The officers cleared a perimeter around the residence and ordered a shelter-in-place for the nearby buildings.

Following an eight-hour standoff, Faulkner surrendered when the bathroom window was breached. The incident lasted more than eight hours.

During an initial search of the residence, officers recovered a 12-gauge shotgun, 12-gauge ammunition, a 9mm pistol case, and 9mm ammunition. A 9mm pistol was recovered from a kitchen cabinet during a second search.

Faulkner was precluded from possessing any firearms due to his conviction history. In 2013, Faulkner was convicted on state charges of operating under the influence, endangering the welfare of a child, and domestic violence assault. In 2018, Faulkner was convicted of aggravated assault.

The Westbrook Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) investigated the case.
