Kian T. Christopher, Illegal Firearm Possession, Kentucky 2019
A Frankfort man has been sentenced to 64 months in federal prison for illegally possessing a firearm.
Kian T. Christopher, of Frankfort, was sentenced by United States Federal Judge Gregory F. VanTatenhove on Thursday, after pleading guilty to being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
According to Christopher’s plea agreement, in August 2018, Frankfort Police Department officers were dispatched to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, where gunshots had been reported.
During the investigation, officers observed Christopher throwing a firearm on the ground at the scene, and located multiple spent shell casings, along with a female inside with a gunshot wound.
Christopher pleaded guilty to the charges in May 2019. He had previously been convicted of two counts of second-degree robbery in 2013.
Under federal law, Christopher must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence and will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for three years.
The investigation was conducted by the ATF and Frankfort Police Department, and the case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program aimed at reducing violent crime in local communities.
