Farrell Felon Sentenced to Nearly Six Years in Prison for Unlawful Possession of Firearm

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - 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, United States Attorney Troy Rivetti announced today.

Senior United States District Judge Arthur J. Schwab imposed the sentence on Aurienn Jones, 31, who previously pleaded guilty to the charge.

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 possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon. Jones was on federal supervised release at the time of his offense, following his recent release from a federal prison sentence for possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

Assistant United States Attorney Craig W. Haller prosecuted this case on behalf of the United States.

United States Attorney Rivetti commended the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, United States Marshals Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Farrell Police Department for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Jones.
