Edwin Calligan, 42, was sentenced in U.S. District Court after he was convicted in January for being a felon in possession of a firearm, importing a detectable amount of 5F-ADB (synthetic cannabinoid) into the United States and attempted possession with intent to distribute 5F-ADB. Calligan received 210 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
Court documents reveal that in June of 2017, federal officials found a firearm and ammunition at Calligan’s home after executing a search warrant. Calligan has prior felony convictions for attempted murder and criminal recklessness that prohibit him from having a gun or ammunition.
Also, Custom Border Protection seized several packages that contained 5F-ADB that had been imported from China and Hong Kong.
