A Milford woman has been sentenced to two years in prison for her role in straw gun purchases in Maine.
Maureen Hammond, 50, of Milford, Maine, was sentenced to two years in prison and three years of supervised release for conspiring to make false statements during the purchase of firearms, announced United States Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II.
Hammmond pled guilty in June 2013 to the charges.
Court documents reveal that on October 9, 2012, Hammond purchased three handguns in two transactions at Jimi’s Trading Center in Brewer, Maine. At the time of the sales, she completed a federally-required form claiming to be the actual buyer, when, in fact, she was buying the handguns for a man she knew to be a drug dealer and paying with money he had given to her.
The handguns have never been recovered.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office.
Hammond’s sentence was handed down yesterday by the court.
