A Fayetteville man has been sentenced to 100 months in prison for a firearms offense.
On March 18, 2018, James Vincent Boyd, 50, of Fayetteville, pled guilty to one count of felon in possession of a firearm. The conviction stems from an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Fayetteville Police Department.
According to the investigation, Boyd, a two-time previous federal felon, possessed and sold five firearms, some equipped with unregistered silencers, over the course of a months-long investigation in the Fayetteville area.
In October 2018, a search warrant was executed at Boyd’s residence, where additional firearms, ammunition, and unregistered silencers were located.
Assistant United States Attorney Lucy Brown represented the government in this matter.
United States Attorney Robert J. Higdon, Jr. announced the sentencing in a press release.
Boyd was sentenced to 100 months imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release by United States District Judge Louise W. Flanagan.
