BANGOR, Maine – A local man has been sentenced to time served and three years of supervised release for making false statements to a federally licensed firearms dealer.
According to federal court records, Keegan Hale, 23, purchased firearms for another individual on two occasions in September and October 2018. On each occasion, he completed and signed a form certifying he was the actual purchaser of the firearm, when in reality he was purchasing the guns for another individual.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Augusta Police Department investigated the case.
Hale entered an initial plea of guilty on March 10, 2020, and subsequently served time for his crimes.
U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker handed down the sentence, citing Hale’s cooperation and compliance with the court’s demands.
This case was part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and making neighborhoods safer for everyone. The initiative was reinvigorated in 2017 as part of the government’s renewed focus on targeting violent criminals.
