PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – A federal judge has sentenced a Woonsocket man to more than nine years in federal prison for selling crack and illegally possessing guns.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Rhode Island said 29-year-old Aaron Kwandranc was sentenced Tuesday to 110 months. He had previously pleaded guilty to one count each of being a felon in possession of firearms and distribution of crack cocaine.
Prosecutors say Kwandranc offered and arranged in 2011 to sell three shotguns and a handgun for $1,000 to an individual known to an East Providence police detective. Authorities say the individual also arranged to buy 32 grams of crack from Kwandranc for $1,500.
Kwandranc has been in federal custody since his arrest in June.
