(Pittsburgh, PA) United States Attorney Troy Rivetti announced today that a former resident of Farrell, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to 71 months in federal prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for possessing a firearm and ammunition after a felony conviction.

Thirty-one-year-old Aurienn Jones was sentenced, and he previously pleaded guilty to the charge against him.

According to information presented to the Court, on January 27, 2025, Jones was found in possession of a firearm and ammunition after prior felony convictions in federal and state courts for firearm and assault crimes during the preceding 12 years.

Federal law prohibits a convicted felon possessing ammunition or a firearm. 

Jones was on federal supervised release at the time of his offense, after his recent release from a federal prison sentence for possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime involving drug trafficking.
