HARRISBURG – Yamil Mediavilla-Diaz, 30, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was indicted on a firearms charge, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced.
The indictment alleges that on August 19, 2016, in Harrisburg, Mediavilla-Diaz unlawfully possessed an AR-15 and ammunition as a previously convicted felon.
Mediavilla-Diaz is charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Harrisburg City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Carlo D. Marchioli is prosecuting the case.
This case was brought as part of the Violent Crime Reduction Partnership, a district-wide initiative to combat the spread of violent crime in the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Led by the United States Attorney’s Office, the VCRP consists of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies whose mission is to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who commit violent crimes with firearms.
Indictments are only allegations, and all persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court. A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
Mediavilla-Diaz is to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Martin C. Carlson for an initial appearance and arraignment. The case will then be set for trial or further proceedings.
