(Pittsburgh, PA) First Assistant United States Attorney Troy Rivetti announced yesterday that a resident of Beaver Falls has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on a charge of violating a federal firearms law. The sole defendant of the one-count Indictment was twenty-three-year-old Javon Turner. According to the Indictment, on or about August 16th, 2025, Turner had a firearm and ammunition in his possession after previously having been convicted of a felony on a state robbery charge. Federal law prohibits a convicted felon possessing a firearm or ammunition. According to Revetti, Turner could receive a maximum total sentence of up to 15 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, or both, provided by the law.
