Portland, Maine: United States Attorney Halsey B. Frank announced that Demetrius Davenport, 31, of Auburn, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court by Judge Nancy Torresen to 2½ years in prison and three years of supervised release for possessing a firearm after having been convicted of felony offenses. Davenport pled guilty to the charge on March 11, 2019.
According to court records, on June 24, 2018, Davenport travelled to Gray, Maine, where he rented a firearm, purchased ammunition, and fired the weapon at a shooting range. Investigators identified Davenport and the shooting range from a video that was uploaded to YouTube. Davenport was prohibited from possessing firearms as a result of his two prior felony convictions for illegal possession of firearms and unauthorized taking or transfer.
The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Lewiston Police Department.
