Altoona Teen Sentenced to 2 Years for Making Destructive Devices
A 19-year-old Altoona resident has been sentenced to 24 months in prison for violating federal laws, announced United States Attorney David J. Hickton today.
United States District Judge Kim R. Gibson imposed the sentence on Vladislav Miftakhov, who was the sole defendant in the case.
According to information presented to the court, on or about January 24, 2014, Miftakhov knowingly and unlawfully made firearms/destructive devices and possessed firearms/destructive devices that were not registered to him in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
The sentence was handed down after Assistant United States Attorney James T. Kitchen prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.
U.S. Attorney Hickton commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Miftakhov.
Miftakhov will also serve three years of supervised release after completing his prison sentence.
The case is a reminder of the importance of gun safety and the consequences of violating federal laws.
