BUFFALO, NY – Steven Glover, Sr., 39, of Jamestown, NY, pleaded guilty to a federal charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm, as announced by U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross. The charge, heard before U.S. District Judge John L. Sinatra, Jr., carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua A. Violanti provided details of the incident leading to Glover’s arrest. On the morning of December 14, 2022, a Jamestown Police officer observed Glover driving with a suspended license. During the stop, Glover voluntarily handed over a glass pipe with methamphetamine residue. A subsequent search of his vehicle revealed a digital scale and a pistol. Due to a previous felony conviction in 2019, Glover is legally barred from possessing firearms.
