FRESNO  -   Brian Zamora, 30, of Fresno, was sentenced today by United States District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston to four years in prison for being a felon in possession of ammunition, United States Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.

According to court documents, officers stopped the car Zamora was traveling in after learning that he was a wanted parolee-at-large and had been spotted in the area. Officers found Zamora’s loaded AR-style “ghost gun” without a serial number and 30-round magazine concealed in a duffle bag in the car. Zamora is a felon, so he is prohibited from possessing both firearms and ammunition.

In addition to three felony convictions for vehicle theft, one felony conviction for carrying a loaded firearm, two felony convictions for second-degree burglary, and one felony conviction for felon in possession of a firearm, Zamora was on parole for second-degree attempted robbery at the time of the crime.

This case resulted from an investigation by the FBI, the Fresno Police Department Multi-Agency Gang Enforcement Consortium (MAGEC), and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Assistant United States Attorney Laura Jean Berger prosecuted the case.

Zamora remains in federal custody.
