Jonathan Anthony Kinsella, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Oregon 2023

_MEDFORD, Ore.—A brazen burglary and theft scheme orchestrated by a convicted felon has landed a Central Point, Oregon, man in federal prison for 10 years.

Jonathan Anthony Kinsella, 53, was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison and three years of supervised release for his role in targeting an elderly victim and stealing over $250,000 worth of gold, cash, and firearms.

According to court documents, in August 2023, Kinsella, a convicted felon, came up with a plan and solicited his wife and friend to burglarize an elderly victim. The trio split approximately $103,000 in cash, $180,000 in gold coins, and five firearms.

Police executed a search warrant at Kinsella’s residence and found a .40 S & W caliber pistol, a .30-30 Winchester caliber rifle, a Colt .38 Special revolver, and a 12-gauge weapon made from a shotgun.

On February 1, 2024, a federal grand jury in Medford returned an indictment charging Kinsella with two counts of felon in possession of a firearm.

On October 20, 2025, Kinsella pleaded guilty to felon in possession of a firearm.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Judith Harper prosecuted the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
