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.
