SOUTH BEND – -(Ammoland.com)- Briana S. Williams-Heard, 24 years old, of Gary, Indiana, was sentenced by United States District Court Chief Judge Jon E. DeGuilio after pleading guilty to making false statements in connection with the acquisition of firearms, announced United States Attorney Clifford D. Johnson.
Williams-Heard was sentenced to 1-year probation with 12 months home detention.
According to documents in the case, in 2020 Williams-Heard bought three handguns from two federally licensed firearm dealers which she then gave to a convicted felon gang member. Williams-Heard falsely reported to police that one of those guns was stolen, and that gun was subsequently found in the possession of the felon gang member.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives with the assistance of the Michigan City Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Frank E. Schaffer and Geovanny E. Martinez.
This case was prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally-based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to a free state, the RIGHT of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.” The second amendment, THE law of the land. Any law repugnant to the constitution is null and void per a SCOTUS case; Marburry vs Madison. This makes all laws contrary to the second amendment (in this case) illegal. Now, who are the real criminals? The atfe, their lawyers, the judge, the legislators who wrote or enforced unconstitutional laws. The woman bought a gun and then gave it or sold it to a low life gang banger.… Read more »
The ATF is nothing but a radical left political activist organization. Same as their Dem leaders in DC you can’t believe them- propaganda similar to how the Nazis controlled the Pols after the invasion in 1939. The ATF is not on our side.
This is what the ATFE was created for, not going after law abiding gun owners. There are enough bad guys to go around, you don’t need to creat new laws to make good guys into bad guys.
. . . and then be a criminal who robs a store with that gun and get caught and then get the “gun” charges dropped and then plea to a lesser charge and be out on the streets again right away thanks to bail reform.
