Daily News | A former Philadelphia prison guard is heading to state prison for selling guns to felons
A former Philadelphia corrections officer was sentenced to seven-to-14 years in state prison Wednesday for illegally selling handguns to felons.
“I am not a bad person,” Barr said. “I made an uneducated decision that cost me my life, my career and my freedom.” In a November 2021 interview with agents from the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Barr said she had resold the guns legally through a third-party dealer, but was unable to provide proof of the transactions, the affidavit said. Instead, the agents found evidence that she had been selling the guns through social media, advertising each for sale for between $500 and $600.
“I don’t think that you have a hardened criminal in front of you,” Sweeney said. “But it is a hard task to be faced with gun charges, given the climate in this area.”
