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.

Due to a previous felony conviction in 2019, Glover is legally barred from possessing firearms.
