Man sentenced to 5 years for illegal gun sales

U.S. District Judge Ruben Castillo sentenced a
Glendale Heights man, who illegally sold almost 200
firearms, to five years in prison Wednesday, and the
judge said he will work to increase penalties for
others who sell illegal guns.

Kelvin Jones, 31, sold 194 handguns, revolvers and
rifles in 1999 to people who did not have gun
licenses. He purchased 98 guns himself and sent three
accomplices to buy the others, according to
prosecutors.

One gun that Jones sold illegally a few years ago was
later used in a homicide, said Assistant U.S. Attorney
Stephen Heinze. But because Jones removed the serial
numbers from the guns sold last year with a tool and
black touch-up paint, police cannot determine if they
have been used in any crimes.

"Common sense tells you it's inevitable that a number
of these guns have been used in crimes and a number of
other crimes could still be committed," Heinze said.

Castillo told Jones he was "reluctant" not to impose
the maximum penalty of almost six years in prison and
that the federal guidelines which set prison terms for
people convicted of selling illegal guns are too
lenient.

Right now, convicted drug offenders can serve more
time than people convicted of selling illegal guns,
but the consequences of illegal gun selling are "much
worse than any drug offense I've seen," Castillo said.

"It doesn't take a whole lot of street sense to know
what was going on with those guns," he added.

Castillo said he is on a committee that could affect
the federal sentencing guidelines for gun-selling.

Jones, who pleaded guilty in November, was apprehended
in August after buying guns from Palatine[ http://www.brownschickenmas sacre.com/excerpt.htm ] resident
Joan Garfield, one of his accomplices.

He had just exited the Eisenhower Expressway at
Western Avenue, a neighborhood where guns are often
used in the commission of crimes, Heinze said.

Defense attorney Andrea Gambino told Castillo that
Jones was behind in his child support payments.

"He saw illegal firearm dealings as a way out of
financial strife," she said.

As Jones entered the courtroom Wednesday, he smiled
and gave a thumbs-up sign to his young son and other
family members who attended the sentencing hearing.
His mother, Dorothy Jones, begged Castillo for
leniency through tears.

"We love Kelvin, and his family is here to support him
and perhaps find out what went wrong," she said.

From March through August, Jones would select guns for
his three accomplices to purchase. The "straw"
purchasers would buy the guns and deliver them to
Jones. He then resold them to people who did not have
licenses to buy firearms.

Castillo sentenced Garfield, 35, to five years of
probation Wednesday for her part in the scheme.

"[She] was under the influence of Kelvin Jones, her
former lover and someone she thought she might marry
someday," said Garfield's lawyer, Frank Lipuma.

Garfield pleaded guilty in November to lying on the
government forms used to purchase a gun.

The other two accomplices, 32-year-old Maurice Ross of
Chicago and 28-year-old Tammahra Peterson, of North
Aurora will be sentenced by Castillo on Feb. 15.

Ross, who used to live with Jones, bought 21 firearms
for Jones, and Peterson bought 19, according to court
documents.

Jones and the three others were arrested in August,
when the government initiated a crackdown on illegal
weapon sales called Project Surefire. More than a
dozen other people have been indicted as part of the
push to crack down on illegal gun sales.
