Manchester Man Pleads Guilty to Ammunition Possession

A Manchester man has been found guilty of illegally possessing ammunition. Eric Edmondson, 46, pleaded guilty to the possession of ammunition by a prohibited person. U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young made the announcement.

The crime occurred on September 11, 2023, when a motorist called 911 to report a potential road rage incident. A driver of a small black sedan with temporary NH plates displayed an apparent firearm.

A subsequent state search warrant yielded a privately manufactured firearm and five rounds of 9 mm ammunition in the defendant’s vehicle. The defendant, a felon, is prohibited from owning or possessing ammunition.

The charging statute provides a sentence of no greater than 15 years in prison, 3 years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000.
