Eleven Years in State Prison for Newburgh Man for Criminal Possession of a Weapon Charges
On Thursday, March 2nd, Orange County DA Hoovler announced that Alleyne was sentenced to eleven years in prison, as well as five years of post-release supervision for Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree. Alleyne entered into a guilty plea in court to illegally possessing the firearm.
DA Hoovler expressed his appreciation for the City of Newburgh Police, and applaud the hard and dedicated work not only by the officers, but the prosecutors who handled the case.
Violent and senseless gunplay using illegally possessed weapons poses a grave risk of harm. Thankfully, the prompt response and investigation by the police officers in this case ensured that this illegally possessed firearm would not cause further irreversible harm. My Office will continue to pursue criminals who disproportionately drive violent crime in the County.
