Robert Twiss Pleads Guilty to Unlawful Firearm Possession in New York
Earlton, New York – In a shocking turn of events, Robert Twiss, a 59-year-old resident of Greene County, New York, has pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm. The charges were brought against him by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York.
According to court records, Twiss was found to be in possession of a Plainfield M-1, Model 41 semi-automatic rifle at his residence on October 24, 2016. As a convicted felon, Twiss is prohibited from owning or possessing firearms.
The investigation into Twiss’s activities was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), with Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Belliss handling the prosecution. United States Attorney Richard S. Hartunian and Vadim D. Thomas, Special Agent in Charge of the Albany Field Office of the FBI, announced Twiss’s guilty plea.
Under the terms of his guilty plea, Twiss faces up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to 3 years of post-imprisonment supervised release. His sentencing is scheduled for August 15, 2017, before Senior U.S. District Judge Thomas J. McAvoy.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the serious consequences of violating federal laws related to firearms. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to ensuring that those who break these laws are held accountable for their actions.
Twiss’s guilty plea is a significant victory for law enforcement and a testament to the importance of collaboration between federal agencies in combating crime. As the investigation into Twiss’s activities continues, it is clear that the pursuit of justice will remain a top priority for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
