Manchester Man Pleads Guilty to the Illegal Possession of Ammunitionn

A Manchester man pleaded guilty in federal court to the illegal possession of ammunition.

Eric Edmondson, 46, pleaded guilty to the possession of ammunition by a prohibited person. U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Laplante scheduled sentencing for April 17, 2025.

On September 11, 2023, a motorist called 911 to report a potential road rage incident involving a driver, of a small black sedan with temporary NH plates, who displayed an apparent firearm. Law enforcement responded, identified the suspect vehicle, and initiated a stop along Route 101. The defendant was driving the vehicle and was arrested on an outstanding state arrest warrant. A subsequent state search warrant yielded a privately manufactured firearm and five rounds of 9 mm ammunition in the defendant’s vehicle. The defendant, a felon, is prohibited from owning or possessing ammunition.

The charging statute provides a sentence of no greater than 15 years in prison, 3 years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

The New Hampshire State Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives led the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles L. Rombeau is prosecuting the case.

Outcome:

U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Laplante scheduled sentencing for April 17, 2025.
