Something is not adding up in the article. The individual is seemingly prohibited from gun ownership because he received a sentence of five years. Which implies he was found guilty of a felony. But the article also stated he was found guilty of a misdemeanor.
Weird that slay news would leave out all the details…

That conviction was a misdemeanor under Pennsylvania law, but it was enhanced because Williams had previously avoided a conviction for DUI in 2000 after agreeing to a diversionary program.

Not only did this mean that Williams could face up to five years of imprisonment, but it also meant that – under the statute mentioned above – Williams would not be able to possess a firearm."https://slaynews.com/news/federal-judge-strikes-down-gun-possession-limit-violating-second-amendment/
