Buffalo Man Sentenced for Gun Crimes
Henry Ford, 37, of Buffalo, New York, was sentenced to time serve (approximately 11 months) and three years’ supervised release for being a felon in possession of a firearm. The sentencing occurred on April 2024, in U.S. District Court.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Donna M. Duncan, a search warrant was executed on April 2024, on Ford’s person and at Ford’s Erb Street residence. Investigators recovered a loaded handgun from Ford’s pocket. The handgun was reported stolen from Georgia in September 2019. During the search of Erb’s residence, investigators recovered a second firearm and ammunition. That firearm was reported stolen in the City of Buffalo in March 2024.
In October 2008, Ford was convicted of a felony in Erie County Court and is legally prohibited from possessing a firearm. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Bryan Miller, and the Buffalo Police Department, under the direction of Commissioner Alphonso Wright, led the investigation.
The charges against Ford stem from his possession of a firearm, a crime that is prohibited for individuals with felony convictions, such as Ford. The investigation revealed that Ford was in possession of a stolen handgun, which further escalated the severity of the crime.
The sentencing of Henry Ford serves as a reminder of the importance of enforcing federal laws related to firearm possession. Individuals with felony convictions are prohibited from possessing firearms, and those who do so can face severe consequences, including imprisonment and supervised release. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Buffalo Police Department, will continue to work together to keep our communities safe.
