BANGOR – U.S. Attorney Paula D. Silsby announced that Marlin Hostetler, 29, of Amity was sentenced on Jan. 2, 2008 to 33 months imprisonment and three years of supervised release, for possession of a firearm after a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction. Hostetler pleaded guilty on Jan. 25, 2007.
Court records reveal that in 2003 Hostetler was convicted of assault against his wife, and was therefore prohibited from possessing firearms. In September 2006, Hostetler was found in possession of a 12-gauge shotgun, which he wielded during an altercation.
Silsby praised the investigation conducted by the Maine State Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Eastern Maine Violent Crime Task Force.
The Department of Justice developed a national initiative known as the Project Safe Neighborhoods, aimed at combating gun violence in Maine. As part of this program, prosecutions such as this are made possible thorugh the collaboration of state and federal agencies.
