BANGOR, Maine (WGAN) A Milford man has been sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison for stealing firearms from a licensed firearms dealer and being a felon in possession of firearms.
U.S. Attorney Halsey B. Frank announced Wednesday that 40-year-old Travis Stinson was also sentenced to three years supervised release and ordered to pay $3,657 in restitution.
Stinson pleaded guilty on July 21, 2017.
Court records say that on October 12, 2016, Stinson and an accomplice stole guns from a Bangor pawn shop in exchange for heroin.
Stinson’s accomplice broke a window at the pawn shop, taking 16 handguns, 15 of which were semi-automatic pistols, and ran off. Stinson was the getaway driver.
Court records said Stinson was prohibited from possessing firearms because of felony theft convictions in Kentucky.
