ROCHESTER, N.Y.—U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr.,
announced today that Marques Cayne, 30, of Elmira, N.Y., pleaded guilty before
U.S. District Judge Charles J. Siragusa, to possessing a stolen firearm in and
affecting interstate commerce. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years
in prison, a fine of $250,000.00, or both.
