Chatigny in Hartford to 15 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for illegally possessing a firearm.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on Jan. 30, 2019, Gray possessed two loaded handguns in Waterbury.
Grays’ criminal history includes state felony convictions for firearms, robbery and larceny offenses.

Gray has been detained since his arrest by Waterbury Police on Jan. 30, 2019. On August 8, 2019, he pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
This matter was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives and the Waterbury Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Heather Cherry.
This prosecution has been brought through Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make neighborhoods safer for everyone.
