A 29-year-old man from Carbon County, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for violating a federal firearms law.
Jordan Bachert, of Lansford, was sentenced to prison on a charge of being an unlawful user of controlled substances in possession of firearms, U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith announced.
Bachert, 29, admitted to being an unlawful user of controlled substances in 2011 and 2012, a time period in which he purchased and possessed several firearms in Carbon County. He pled guilty on October 9, 2013, to a criminal information filed on September 16, 2013.
Senior Judge Edwin M. Kosik ordered that Bachert be supervised by a probation officer for two years following his release from prison.
The case was the result of an investigation concerning drug and firearms trafficking in Carbon and Schuylkill Counties conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Nesquehoning and Lansford Police Departments in Carbon County.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert J. O’Hara.
Bachert’s prison term is the latest development in a long-standing effort to crack down on firearms trafficking in the region.
