Peggy Chaffin, Gun and Assault Charges, West Virginia 2017

ELKINS, WEST VIRGINIA – In a stunning display of disregard for the law, Peggy Chaffin, 38, of Portsmouth, Ohio, has been handed down a 112-month sentence for illegally possessing a firearm and using said gun to obstruct a Deputy U.S. Marshal.

According to sources, Chaffin’s troubles began when she was found to be a felon in possession of a .22 caliber rifle. This is a serious offense, especially considering her previous conviction for felony heroin possession and distribution in the Eastern District of Kentucky in August 2013.

The situation took a turn for the worse when Chaffin used the gun to obstruct, assault, and resist a Deputy U.S. Marshal in Orlando, West Virginia, in November 2015. This brazen act of defiance has left many wondering what could have been done to prevent such a situation.

Chaffin’s plea of guilty to one count of ‘Felon in Possession of a Firearm’ and one count of ‘Assaulting, Obstructing, or Resisting a Federal Officer’ in February 2017, has finally brought her to justice. Assistant U.S. Attorney David J. Perri prosecuted the case on behalf of the government, with the United States Marshals Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the West Virginia State Police, and the Braxton County Sheriff’s Office providing crucial evidence and support.

The case was presided over by U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey, who has seen his fair share of high-profile cases. Chaffin’s sentence serves as a stark reminder that the law will not be taken lightly, and those who break it will face the consequences.

Peggy Chaffin, the defendant, has been convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm and assaulting a federal officer. This is a serious offense that carries a heavy sentence, and Chaffin’s actions have demonstrated a clear disregard for the law and the safety of others.

The details of the case are as follows: Defendant – Peggy Chaffin, Charges – Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Assaulting, Obstructing, or Resisting a Federal Officer, Location – Orlando, West Virginia, Date – November 2015, Sentence – 112 months.

It is clear that Chaffin’s actions have caused significant harm and disruption, and her sentence serves as a warning to others who may be tempted to follow in her footsteps. The law will not be taken lightly, and those who break it will face the consequences.
