Lemonte Green, 37, Sentenced to 5 Years for Firearms Charge
MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – A Maryland man was sentenced to 60 months of incarceration for a firearms charge, Acting U.S. Attorney Randolph J. Bernard announced yesterday.
Lemonte Green, of Hagerstown, Maryland, pled guilty to one count of ‘Possession of a Firearm in Furtherance of a Drug Trafficking Crime’ in September 2020. Green admitted to having a 9mm pistol while trafficking drugs in October 2019 in Berkeley County.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Omps-Botteicher prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated.
Chief U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh presided over the case.
Green’s sentence stems from his involvement in a drug trafficking operation in Berkeley County, West Virginia, in October 2019. During this time, he possessed a 9mm pistol, which is a serious offense.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping firearms out of the hands of those involved in illegal activities.
