PITTSBURGH, PA – The gritty streets of Johnstown witnessed a grim turn as Sean Zachary Horton, aged 29 and residing at 301 Washington St., was indicted by a federal grand jury for violating federal firearms laws. United States Attorney Scott W. Brady made the ominous announcement today.
Horton is accused of being in possession of a firearm and ammunition on June 7, 2018, despite having prior felony convictions. The gravity of his crime is underscored by the potential penalties: up to 10 years imprisonment, a maximum fine of $250,000, or both.
The Superseding Indictment naming Horton as the sole defendant was the result of a thorough investigation conducted by the Pennsylvania State Police. This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, an initiative aimed at reducing violent crime through evidence-based programs and comprehensive community solutions.
Prosecuting this chilling case for the government is Special Assistant United States Attorney Chad R. Parks. The program’s focus on violent offenders and partnership with local prevention and reentry programs is a strategic approach to lasting crime reductions.
Horton is now facing the full brunt of federal law, but it is important to note that he is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
