Grimy Times has learned that Robert Schatzman, a 21-year-old resident of Butler, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to 20 months of incarceration for violating federal firearm laws.
According to information presented to the court, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Schatzman's home in April 2025 and recovered a Glock pistol from a floor air vent within his bedroom.
Schatzman previously had been convicted of robbery in the Court of Common Pleas of Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. Federal law prohibits possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon.
Assistant United States Attorneys Douglas C. Maloney and Kelly M. Locher prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
United States Attorney Troy Rivetti commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Stowe Township Police Department, McKees Rocks Police Department, and Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Schatzman.
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 gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
Schatzman's sentence of 20 months in prison for violating federal firearm laws sends a stark reminder of the consequences of breaking the law.
Grimy Times will continue to monitor this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
