PORTLAND, Maine - A Barrington man was sentenced on Thursday for possessing a firearm and ammunition while being a felon.
Jonathan Grant, 43, of Barrington, N.H., was ordered to spend 12 months and a day in prison to be followed by 2 years of supervised release. He pleaded guilty on Nov. 17.
According to court records, in March 2025, Kittery Police Department officers responded to the Kittery Trading Post regarding a potential shoplifting incident. Police were directed to a group of males who had just left the store, one of whom was identified as Grant. Officers searched Grant's jacket and located a .22 caliber pistol and a box containing 100 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition. Grant was prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition by virtue of prior felony drug convictions in New Hampshire.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case with the assistance of the Kittery Police Department.
