A Mineral County man has been sentenced to 24 months of incarceration for a firearms charge, marking the latest in a string of firearm-related cases in the region.
Kendu Woodard, 43, also known as “Kenneth Barmore,” pleaded guilty in March 2021 to one count of “Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.” Woodard admitted to having a 9mm pistol in February 2019 in Mineral County, despite being prohibited from having a firearm due to a prior conviction.
