Saratoga County man sentenced for firearms offenses

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)-- A Gansevoort man was sentenced to prison Tuesday for multiple firearms offenses. Jacob Boldt, 35, was sentenced to four years and three months in prison after pleading guilty to his charges.

In his guilty plea, Boldt admitted to selling firearms without a license, identified other felons as good customers for "ghost guns" and possessed a firearm that he knew was stolen, according to the United States Department of Justice. During the time of his offenses, Boldt was not allowed to have any firearms due to a prior felony conviction.

The 35-year-old was sentenced for dealing in firearms without a license and possessing a firearm as a felon. In addition to being sentenced to prison, Boldt was fined $5,000, was ordered to serve two years of post-release supervision and had to forfeit a shotgun, which was taken by police.
