A 23-year-old Davenport resident, identified as Rodolfo Tellez Gutierrez Jr., has been sentenced to federal prison following a weapons conviction. The ruling was handed down during a Tuesday hearing in U.S. District Court, underscoring the seriousness with which federal authorities handle firearms-related offenses.

Attorney Kevin Luibrand, representing Schenectady arson suspect Edward Leon, seeks to continue his representation despite a federal inquiry into a potential conflict of interest. Prosecutors asked the court to examine whether his role poses any ethical concerns.
