(Spencer)– A Spencer woman has been sentenced to more than a year in federal prison on a firearms charge.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 25-year-old Marissa Anderson pled guilty in March of this year to false statement during purchase of a firearm.
They say evidence in the case revealed Anderson supplied 12 guns to five different individuals, each of whom was prohibited from lawfully possessing firearms. Authorities say the crimes were discovered during multiple investigations. In one incident, they say Anderson transferred a semiautomatic gun to a felon, then drove him around Spencer as he threatened another person while brandishing the gun.
Anderson was released on bond previously set and is to surrender to a U.S. Marshal on a date yet to be set.
The case was investigated by the Spencer Police Department, Clay County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
