The crime occurred at his residence in Salem, New Hampshire, where police received a call about shots fired on January 23, 2024. Fratus, a convicted felon, was found with several firearms and approximately 12,870 rounds of ammunition.

The investigation was led by the ATF, with assistance from the Salem Police Department. Fratus pleaded guilty in federal court in Concord and was sentenced to 72 months of incarceration, followed by 3 years of supervised release.
The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Marin and former Assistant U.S. Attorney Heather Cherniske. The sentencing is a result of the joint efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat illegal firearm possession and prevent potential harm to the community.
