The law provides for a maximum total sentence of life years in prison, a fine of $250,000 or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant. Reese is detained pending trial.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, and the Pennsylvania State Police conducted the investigation leading to the Superseding Indictment in this case.
