Montreal Proctor, Illegal Firearm Possession, Maryland 2023

Baltimore Man Sentenced to Federal Prison for Possessing an Illegal Firearm

Greenbelt, Maryland – On June 30, 2022, Montreal Proctor, 34, of Baltimore, Maryland, was sentenced to three years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for federal charges of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.

According to his guilty plea, Proctor walked through the 500 block of Chateau Avenue, in Baltimore, while armed with a loaded firearm. While walking, Proctor encountered police officers as they were patrolling the area. He then took a loaded firearm from out of his waistband, resulting in a brief standoff. Proctor eventually dropped the firearm and began to flee before he was later arrested.

Law enforcement recovered the firearm and found that it was a Ruger .40 caliber pistol that was loaded with more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Proctor was previously convicted of several violent offenses, including attempted murder, first-degree assault, and attempted robbery.

In addition to his federal sentence, Proctor is facing state charges for violating probation.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
