Jarmori Brown, Illegally Transporting Firearms, Massachusetts 2023

Jarmori Brown, 21, was sentenced to 18 months in prison and three years of supervised release for illegally transporting firearms from Alabama into Massachusetts.

Brown, who has been in state custody on unrelated state charges since being charged federally, pleaded guilty in March 2023 to one count of illegal transportation or receipt in state of residency of firearm purchased or acquired outside of state of residency, and one count of conspiracy to illegally transport firearms.

According to court documents, Brown conspired with co-defendants Brandon Moore, Jahquel Pringle, and Kobe Smith to obtain at least 24 firearms from Alabama and transport them to Boston. In August 2020, Brown traveled from Boston to Alabama on a commercial bus, allegedly to pick up the firearms, and then transported the firearms, concealed within luggage, back to Boston on the commercial bus.

At least seven firearms obtained in this manner have been recovered by law enforcement from the streets of Boston and surrounding communities.

Brown's case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and making neighborhoods safer.

The details contained in the charging documents are allegations, and the remaining defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy and James M. Ferguson, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Boston Field Division, made the announcement today.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Elianna J. Nuzum of Levy's Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.
