MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – Darian Leizear, a 23-year-old resident of Martinsburg, West Virginia, has been sentenced to 15 months of incarceration for a firearms charge, according to Acting United States Attorney Randolph J. Bernard.
Leizear pleaded guilty in March 2021 to one count of “Unlawful Possession of a Firearm” after admitting to having a .380 caliber pistol in September 2020 in Berkeley County. The defendant is prohibited from having firearms due to a prior conviction.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Eleanor F. Hurney on behalf of the government, with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives investigating the crime. Chief U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh presided over the sentencing.
Leizear’s sentence is a result of violating the law by possessing a firearm he was prohibited from owning. This incident highlights the importance of adhering to firearms regulations and the consequences of breaking them.
