Epping Man Sentenced to Federal Prison
October 3, 2008
Jeffrey Lance Brown, 37, of Epping, was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Concord to serve three years in federal prison for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. U.S. District Judge Paul J. Barbadoro also ordered the defendant to serve three years of supervised release following his release from prison.
The prosecution resulted from an incident on Nov. 9, 2006 when Epping Police discovered the defendant in possession of a shotgun while hunting. Brown had been convicted in 1991 of bank robbery in Oklahoma and thus prohibited under federal law from possessing a firearm. Brown was identified in the robbery after wearing an Epping High School jacket during the crime.
The case was investigated by the Epping Police Department and the Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Clyde Garrigan.
