In McKeesport, Pennsylvania, a 26-year-old man has been sentenced to federal prison on firearm charges, a statement from United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan confirmed. The individual, Jared Abraham Ogrosky, will serve a sentence of 33 months followed by three years of supervised release for illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Ogrosky's sentence was handed down last Thursday by Senior United States District Judge Joy Flowers Conti for violations that also included breaching the terms of his federal supervised release. According to the Department of Justice, Ogrosky's plea of guilty earlier this year on March 12 acknowledged his status as a convicted felon—a status that, under federal law, bars individuals from possessing firearms or ammunition.

The previous convictions of Ogrosky involved heroin and fentanyl trafficking and carrying a firearm while trafficking drugs. Assistant United States Attorney V. Joseph Sonson led the case for the government, contributing to the outcome of this conviction.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Allegheny County District Attorney Narcotics Enforcement Team, and the U.S. Marshals Service were commended for their investigative efforts, which led to the successful prosecution of Ogrosky.
