The indictment named Tony A. Fish, Jr., 38 of Zoar and Robert S. Bear, 38 of Neopit. The indictment charged both Fish and Bear with being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm. If convicted, each defendant faces a maximum of 10 years’ imprisonment, up to a $250,000 fine, and up to 3 years of supervised release. This case is being prosecuted as part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative.
