(Fargo, ND) -- A Fargo man has been sentenced to two and a half years behind bars on several gun charges.
31-year-old Matthew Kraft's sentence was handed down by Chief Judge Peter Welte in U.S. District Court.
Officials say Kraft had a package he ordered intercepted by customs and border protection that contained an illegal firearm silencer. As a result, a search warrant was carried out in his home in June 2021 and turned up an arsenal of weapons, including short-barreled rifles, ghost guns and over 20 silencers.
Kraft was also sentenced to three years supervised release and a $400 special assessment. He was officially charged with possession of firearms by a convicted felon, receipt or possession of firearms made in violation of the national firearms act, receipt of possession of unregistered firearms and illegal importation of firearms.
