A felon who illegally possessed two firearms, one of them a ghost gun, was sentenced on Monday, Nov. 28, 2022, to serve five to 10 years in state prison.
Scott Allen McCaughey, 65, of Plumstead Township, was arrested after an April 28 search of his home in the 4900 block of Durham Road in Plumstead Township turned up the weapons that he is not allowed to possess because of his criminal history, which included a 1980 felony conviction for robbery.
McCaughey pleaded guilty on Sept. 15 to two counts of prohibited possession of a firearm for the guns found at his home and two additional counts of prohibited possession of a firearm for two mostly-completed assault-style rifle frames/receivers.
He was sentenced by Common Pleas Judge Charissa J. Liller on Monday.
