Plains man sentenced to five years in prison for gun charge
A Plains man who admitted to a firearms crime after trying to sell a gun with an obliterated serial number was sentenced Dec. 12 to five years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said.
The defendant, Zen York Lowther, 36, pleaded guilty in August to possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy presided.
The government alleged in court documents that law enforcement learned Lowther was in possession of firearms and controlled substances and was on state parole for felony burglary and theft. Law enforcement also received information that Lowther was engaged in the sale of firearms.
