Glenburn Man Pleads Guilty to Unlawfully Possessing Firearms
Bangor, Maine – In a shocking turn of events, Jonathan Gardiner, 31, of Glenburn, Maine, pleaded guilty yesterday in U.S. District Court to being a felon in possession of a firearm.
According to court records, on November 13, 2014, law enforcement officers recovered a 12-gauge shotgun in the attic of Gardiner’s residence and a 9-mm pistol on the ground behind the residence. Forensic testing revealed that Gardiner held both firearms.
