Waleed Lang, 33, of St. Croix was sentenced to five years probation Tuesday on a charge of unlawfully mailing a firearm into the territory, according to U.S. Attorney Ronald E. Sharpe.
District Court Judge Raymond L. Finch also ordered Lang to pay a fine of $500 along with a special assessment of $100.
According to Sharpe, on or about Feb. 15, 2014, Lang knowingly mailed a U.S. priority mail parcel from Florida to St. Croix. The parcel contained a Titan Tier .38 caliber revolver.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alphonso Andrews Jr.
