Glenn Jamison, 37, of Waterbury, is headed for a federal prison cell after pleading guilty to a federal firearms charge in a New Haven courtroom today. The conviction stems from a January 10, 2018 incident when authorities discovered Jamison in possession of a loaded 9mm Ruger LC9 handgun — a weapon he had no legal right to carry.
At the time of the offense, Jamison was on state probation and already hunted by law enforcement, with two active warrants for his arrest. Despite that, he chose to carry a loaded firearm through the streets of Waterbury, putting public safety at risk. He was arrested the same day and has remained in custody ever since.
U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall, who presided over the plea hearing, scheduled sentencing for July 17, 2019. Jamison now faces a maximum penalty of 10 years behind bars — a consequence of violating federal law that bars individuals with felony convictions from possessing firearms or ammunition that have crossed state or international lines.
Jamison’s criminal record is a long trail of violent and serious offenses, riddled with multiple felony convictions. Each prior conviction stripped him further of civil rights — including the right to bear arms. Yet he chose to arm himself anyway, defying both state supervision and federal statutes.
The investigation was a joint operation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Waterbury Police Department. Their collaboration underscores the aggressive federal push to remove guns from the hands of violent offenders through initiatives like Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN).
Assistant U.S. Attorney Natasha Freismuth is prosecuting the case, which was brought under the PSN umbrella — a nationwide effort to reduce violent crime by targeting repeat offenders who illegally possess firearms. For Jamison, the consequences are no longer avoidable: the cell door is closing, and the sentence is coming.
