Nicholas Carle, 36, of Boston, has been sentenced to 42 months in prison and three years of supervised release for a federal ammunition charge. The sentence follows a plea agreement in September, where Carle admitted to being a felon in possession of ammunition, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
On December 18, 2022, Carle attempted to flee from law enforcement after a traffic stop. He dropped a coat containing a Smith & Wesson .357 revolver with six rounds of ammunition. A search of the vehicle also found about 2.5 pounds of a substance that appeared to be marijuana, though no charges were filed related to it, as reported by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Carle, previously convicted of felonies including illegal firearm possession, was sentenced after authorities found items in his coat. He is now barred from owning firearms or ammunition. The case was handled by U.S. Attorneys William F. Abely and Julien M. Mundele, with help from the Massachusetts State Police and ATF, as stated by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
