Unlawful Ammunition Possession Lands Hyannis Man in Federal Court

A Hyannis man has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Boston for unlawfully possessing ammunition as a convicted felon.

Timothy Lee Galvin, 31, was indicted on one count of being a felon in possession of ammunition.

The indictment alleges that on or about June 2, 2023, in Barnstable, Galvin possessed three rounds of 9mm ammunition, 11 rounds of .45 caliber ammunition, and 47 rounds of 9mm ammunition.

Galvin is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition due to three prior drug distribution convictions.

The charge of being a felon in possession of ammunition carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and up to life in prison, five years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000.

Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes that govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy, James M. Ferguson, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, Boston Field Division, and Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert Galibois made the announcement today.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin A. Tolkoff of the Organized Crime & Gang Unit is prosecuting the case.

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.
