U.S. District Judge Katharine S. Hayden handed down the sentence to Ahmed A-Hady, of Keyport, after he pleaded guilty in October to one count of being in possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
While executing a search warrant at the pawn shop, which his father owned, authorities recovered a dozen firearms, including three AR-15 style firearms from the pawn shop and the apartment above the store where A-Hady lived. Three of the weapons were registered to A-Hady, who cannot possess them as a convicted felon.
