Timothy Feldman, age 22, pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a weapon in Saratoga County Court on Tuesday, Oct. 17, stemming from an arrest in July 2023.
According to prosecutors, a bouncer at a Saratoga Springs bar caught Feldman, a former Schoharie County Corrections Officer, with a gun as he entered the business early on July 23, 2023.
The bouncer contacted police, who determined that the gun did not have a valid serial number and was an untraceable, illegal “ghost gun.”
Feldman admitted that he did not have a valid pistol permit and confessed to buying the weapon components online and assembling it himself.
In court Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a felony.
He is expected to get between two and six years in prison when he’s sentenced in January 2024.
