Samuel Iaquinta, Jr., Unlawful Possession of Firearm, West Virginia 2020

Clarksville, West Virginia - In a shocking turn of events, Samuel Iaquinta, Jr., a 47-year-old resident of Fairmont, West Virginia, has been sentenced to 84 months of incarceration for a firearms charge.

The charges stem from a March 2020 incident in Marion County where Iaquinta, a person prohibited from having a firearm due to a previous felony conviction, admitted to possessing a 9mm pistol.

Iaquinta pleaded guilty to one count of "Unlawful Possession of Firearm" in October 2020, marking a significant turning point in the case.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Fairmont Police Department conducted a thorough investigation, uncovering the evidence that would ultimately lead to Iaquinta's downfall.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara E. Wagner prosecuted the case on behalf of the government, working tirelessly to ensure that justice was served.

U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Kleeh presided over the case, delivering the sentence that would change Iaquinta's life forever.

The sentencing marks a significant victory for law enforcement and a reminder that those who break the law will face the consequences.
