PORTLAND, Maine: A Hollis man was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Portland today for being a felon in possession of ammunition as well as for violating conditions of supervised release previously imposed by a federal court in New Hampshire.

Chief U.S. District Judge Jon D. Levy sentenced Julion Parker, 30, to a total of 82 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Parker received a sentence of 70 months for the felon-in-possession violation and 12 months for violating the conditions of his supervised release, to be served consecutively. Parker waived indictment and pleaded guilty on September 5, 2022. 

According to court records, Parker was convicted in the District of New Hampshire in 2019 for being a felon in possession of firearms. After his supervision was transferred to the District of Maine in early 2022, Parker’s supervising probation officer learned that he was in possession of numerous firearms. In April 2022, agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) executed a search warrant at Parker’s residence in Hollis and recovered several rounds of ammunition. He is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition due to prior felony convictions.

ATF investigated the case.


Project Safe Neighborhoods: This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
