A brazen theft of 31 firearms from Saxton Outdoor Supply, Inc., in Saxton, Pennsylvania, has led to a 12-year prison sentence for Garrett G. Sherlock, 27.
United States District Judge Kim R. Gibson imposed the sentence on January 28, 2013, the same day the crime occurred, after Sherlock was convicted of theft of firearms and interstate transportation of stolen firearms.
According to information presented to the court, on January 28, 2013, Sherlock stole 31 firearms from Saxton Outdoor Supply, Inc., a business licensed to deal in firearms, and transported the stolen firearms from Pennsylvania to Maryland.
Assistant United States Attorney John J. Valkovci, Jr., prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton commended the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Pennsylvania State Police-Bedford Barracks for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Sherlock.
Garrett G. Sherlock, 27, of Saxton, Pa., was sentenced to 144 months in prison, three years supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution of $20,250.42.
This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a collaborative effort by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and communities to prevent, deter, and prosecute gun crime.
