Description:
New Haven Man Sentenced to Prison for Role in Gun Trafficking Scheme
Marc H. Silverman, Acting United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that QUINN MOORING, 43, of New Haven, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill in Bridgeport to 24 months of imprisonment, followed by two years of supervised release, for his role in a gun trafficking scheme.
According to court documents and statements made in court, in March 2021, ATF Task Force officers learned that Mooring was receiving firearms from a source, subsequently identified as Marquis Jerome Pollard, in South Carolina and selling them in Connecticut. On April 19, 2021, investigators made a controlled purchase of a 9mm Glock handgun and a drum magazine from Mooring and Pollard in New Haven in exchange for $1,500.
On April 22, 2021, investigators made a controlled purchase of 9mm ammunition from Mooring in New Haven.
Mooring's criminal history includes state convictions for felony robbery, unlawful restraint, and failure to appear offenses. It is a violation of federal law for a person previously convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce.
Mooring was arrested on a federal criminal complaint on June 14, 2021. On January 13, 2022, he pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
Mooring who is released on a $50,000 bond, is required to report to prison on June 18.
Pollard pleaded guilty and, on February 27, 2023, was sentenced to eight years of imprisonment.
This matter was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), West Haven Police Department, New Haven Police Department, Beaufort (S.C.) Police Department, and Beaufort County Sheriff's Office. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Konstantin Lantsman through Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime.
