A Livingston man has been sentenced to two years in prison for possessing a stolen firearm. Orville James McIntire, 21, pleaded guilty in October 2021 to possession of a stolen firearm.
According to court documents, a Park County Sheriff’s deputy made a traffic stop near Livingston on January 31, 2020 of a Cadillac Deville that had been reported stolen. The deputy saw a firearm case on the front passenger seat containing a Zastava M70 semi-automatic 9 mm pistol, with a loaded magazine and a round in the chamber.
McIntire was in the rear passenger seat and the only other occupant of the vehicle. Officers obtained a search warrant for the vehicle and discovered McIntire’s involvement in the stolen firearm.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Karla E. Painter prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Missouri River Drug Task Force and the Livingston Police Department.
The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a U.S. Department of Justice initiative to reduce violent crime. Through PSN, federal, tribal, state and local law enforcement partners in Montana focus on violent crime driven by methamphetamine trafficking, armed robbers, firearms offenses and violent offenders with outstanding warrants.
Orville James McIntire’s sentence includes two years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release.
