Martinsburg Man Caught with Firearm After Felony Conviction

A Martinsburg man is facing up to ten years in prison after pleading guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm. Marwin Uriah Wilson, 28, was previously convicted of a felony offense of ‘Unlawful Wounding’ in Berkeley County.

The crime occurred in March 2016, when Wilson admitted to possessing a .9mm pistol. U.S. Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld, II, announced the guilty plea, which was made in a court hearing presided over by U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert W. Trumble.

Wilson’s sentence will be determined by the seriousness of the offense and his prior criminal history, according to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. He faces a maximum fine of $250,000.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Z. Krasinski prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office investigated the matter.

The case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to crack down on individuals who possess firearms despite having prior felony convictions. It also serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of such actions, including lengthy prison sentences and significant fines.

The guilty plea was a significant development in the case, and it is expected that Wilson will face a serious sentence as a result. The outcome of the case will be closely watched by law enforcement agencies and the public alike.

Martinsburg, WV – The guilty plea of Marwin Uriah Wilson will be closely monitored by the community as the case moves forward.
