ALBANY, NEW YORK – Michael Greenholtz, age 24, of Cairo, New
York, was sentenced today to 24 months in prison for illegally possessing a .22
caliber revolver as a prohibited person.
The announcement was made by United States Attorney Grant C.
Jaquith; James N. Hendricks, Special Agent in Charge of the Albany Field Office
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); and John B. DeVito, Special Agent
in Charge of the New York Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
Senior United States District Judge Thomas J. McAvoy also
sentenced Greenholtz to 3 years of supervised release, to begin following his
term of imprisonment.
As part of his guilty plea, Greenholtz admitted that on July
31, 2018, he sold a .22 caliber revolver in Albany. Two prior state felony convictions for
burglary prevented Greenholtz from legally possessing the firearm. Greenholtz has been in custody since his
arrest on September 15, 2018.
This case was investigated by the FBI, its Capital District
Safe Streets Gang Task Force, and the ATF, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S.
Attorney Emmet O’Hanlon.
