80 Months in Prison for Erie Man’s Gun Crime
In a shocking turn of events, a former resident of Erie, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to 80 months in federal prison for violating federal firearms laws.
Michael Jerod Manning, 23, was sentenced by United States District Judge David S. Cercone in federal court for his crime.
According to information presented to the court, Manning possessed a firearm while being a convicted felon, a serious offense that carries severe penalties.
Assistant United States Attorney Christine A. Sanner prosecuted this case on behalf of the government, bringing Manning to justice for his actions.
U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton commended the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Erie Police Department for the investigation leading to Manning’s successful prosecution.
As part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative, a collaborative effort by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and communities to prevent, deter, and prosecute gun crime, Manning’s case serves as a reminder of the consequences of violating federal firearms laws.
