Overview

• The 38-year-old Dearborn resident was sentenced to 34 months in federal prison on Wednesday for being a felon in possession of firearms.
• Prosecutors said he pleaded guilty in May after he left Temple Beth El and then handled multiple guns inside a Dearborn store.
• The Dec. 2, 2022 encounter outside the Bloomfield Hills preschool involved antisemitic threats toward parents, children and security.
• In the store, he held a 12-gauge shotgun, a 5.56mm rifle and a 9mm pistol, lied on the purchase form about a prior felony, and said he would "even the score" for "God’s wrath" before a background check blocked the sale.
• The FBI investigated and the U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case, as Oakland County separately pursued ethnic-intimidation charges.
