Dennis Lee Boyce, 50, of Fairmont, West Virginia, pleaded guilty in March 2022 to one count of ‘Unlawful Possession of Firearm.’ Boyce, a person prohibited from having firearms because of a prior conviction, admitted to having four rifles and two shotguns in January 2020 in Marion County.
According to the court documents, Boyce was prohibited from having firearms due to a prior conviction. On January 21, 2020, he had four rifles and two shotguns in his possession.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon S. Flower prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated.
