Buffalo Man Sentenced for Felon In Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition
BUFFALO, NY – Denzel Robinson, a 27-year-old man from Buffalo, was sentenced to 38 months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, according to U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr.
On April 28, 2020, the Buffalo Police Department executed a search warrant at Robinson’s residence on Sun Street in Buffalo and recovered a .22 caliber rifle and multiple rounds of ammunition. Robinson was previously convicted in Erie County Court of bail jumping and is legally prohibited from possessing a firearm and ammunition.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael J. Adler and Charles E. Watkins, Jr., who handled the case, stated that the sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Buffalo Police Department, under the direction of Commissioner Byron Lockwood, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Stephen Belongia.
Robinson’s sentencing is a significant development in the ongoing effort to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who are prohibited from possessing them.
The case against Robinson is a reminder that the consequences of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon can be severe.
