Traffic Stop Nets City Man State Prison Sentence
An April 2020 traffic stop has netted a Jamestown man more than four years in state prison.
Walter S. Duprey was sentenced to 57 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Tuesday in a news release.
Duprey was a passenger in a vehicle stopped by Jamestown police officers April 30, 2020. During the stop, the city man was found with a shotgun shell in his pocket, and during a search of the vehicle officers recovered a loaded shotgun.
Duprey was convicted in 2005, 2006 and 2012 of felony charges in Chautauqua County and is legally prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition.
