BUFFALO, N.Y. – A Buffalo man has been convicted of possessing a firearm and marijuana after a jury trial.
Tyrone Nance, 32, was found guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of marijuana following a jury trial in federal court.
The charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, or both.
The conviction stems from a search conducted by federal probation officers in November 2011 at Nance’s residence and car on Timon Avenue in Buffalo.
