Hebron Man Sentenced to 3 Years for Being a Felon in Possession of Firearms

PORTLAND, Maine: A Hebron man was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Portland for being a felon in possession of firearms.

U.S. District Judge George Z. Singal sentenced Dario Giambro, 75, to 36 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. He was also fined $250,000.

Giambro was found guilty by a federal jury on October 11, 2023, following a two-day trial. According to evidence presented during the trial, in January 2022, Maine State Police executed search warrants at Giambro’s residence in Hebron. Investigators seized, among other things, 856 firearms—including shotguns, pistols, revolvers, and rifles—and a large amount of ammunition from the residence. Giambro is prohibited from possessing firearms due to a prior federal conviction in the District of Maine for possessing an unregistered firearm, a felony offense.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives administratively forfeited the 856 firearms and ammunition found in Giambro’s home.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Maine State Police investigated this case, with assistance from the Oxford County Sheriff’s Office and Norway Police Department.
