New Haven’s Antrium Coston, 42, has been sentenced to an additional three years in federal prison for illegally possessing a firearm while out on bond. According to United States Attorney David X. Sullivan, Coston was released on bond after being sentenced in 2023 for pandemic relief fraud, money laundering, and drug offenses.
Coston’s latest arrest came on October 25, when police found him in possession of a loaded Taurus G3 9mm handgun with an extended magazine. He was subsequently convicted on October 28, 2024, for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and possessing it while on federal release.
His prior criminal history includes multiple felony convictions, including two federal convictions for firearm offenses. The investigation into Coston’s latest offense was led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) in collaboration with the New Haven Police Department.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Nathaniel J. Gentile and Sean P. Mahard under the Justice Department’s Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) program, aimed at reducing gun violence and enhancing community safety. Coston’s sentence will run consecutively to his previous 37-month sentence.
