Hartford Resident Sent To Prison For Gun Possession: Feds

HARTFORD, CT — A convicted felon from Hartford was sentenced to several years in prison Tuesday for illegally possession a gun.

Marc H. Silverman, acting U.S. attorney for Connecticut, said Kendall Camby, also known as “KB,” 35, of Hartford, was sentenced Tuesday in Bridgeport federal court to seven years behind bars, followed by three years of supervised release, for possessing a firearm as a felon.

According to court documents and statements made in court, on Feb. 22, 2023, Hartford police received information Camby had a firearm while distributing drugs in the area of 1631 Main St.

After officers observed Camby engaging in suspected hand-to-hand drug transactions and then entering the passenger seat of a car, they stopped the car and found him with a .45 caliber Glock 30 handgun, Silverman said.

He said the gun was also fitted with a Glock switch auto sear device, which converted the gun to an automatic weapon.

Camby also possessed approximately 650 wax paper sleeves containing fentanyl and approximately 50 bags of crack cocaine, officials said.

Silverman said Camby’s criminal history includes state convictions for felony firearm, drug, robbery, and burglary offenses.

It is a violation of federal law for a person previously convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce.

On July 10, 2024, Camby pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
