Guilty Plea Reached in Newburgh Gun Case
### Guilty Plea in Newburgh Gun Case
**Newburgh, NY** – A Newburgh man, Israel Brown, pled guilty to Attempted Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree in the Orange County Court on Wednesday.

He emphasized the importance of proactive policing in preventing violence and reiterated a no-tolerance stance on illegal firearms, especially those with defaced serial numbers.
