ST. CROIX MAN SENTENCED TO 38 MONTHS ON FIREARM CONVICTION

St. Croix, VI – United States Attorney Delia L. Smith announced today that Princeton Jameson, 33, of St. Croix, was sentenced by Judge Wilma A. Lewis to 38 months incarceration after pleading guilty to possession of a machinegun.

According to court documents, in October 2021, Customs and Border Patrol at the Henry Rohlsen Airport seized “Glock Chips” or “Glock Switches”, two pistols, pistol components, and ammunition that Jameson smuggled in his luggage when he traveled from the U.S. mainland to St. Croix. Glock Switches are devices used to convert Glock pistols from semiautomatic into fully automatic firing mode.

This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and Customs and Border Protection and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Evan Rikhye.
