A Carlisle man has been indicted on firearms charges following a federal grand jury investigation.

Craig Alan Hare, 51, was indicted on March 23, 2022, by a federal grand jury on charges related to the unlawful possession of firearms in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

According to United States Attorney John C. Gurganus, the indictment alleges that on January 14, 2022, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Hare unlawfully possessed a Sig Sauer M400 .223 AR 15 Rifle, and a Smith & Wesson 9mm Model, with ammunition and magazines for both firearms while having a previous conviction for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), and the Pennsylvania State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jaime M. Keating is prosecuting the case.

This case was part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the government’s violent crime reduction efforts.

If convicted, the maximum penalty under federal law for this offense is 10 years imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
