GOSHEN – A 33-year-old Newburgh man will be spending the next 12 years in state prison after he pled guilty to criminal possession of a weapon.

Jason Brown was arrested after an incident at about 12:30 p.m. on July 31, 2024 in which he fired a gun at a man and woman, striking both of them in the feet.

Brown, who was with another man, fled the scene and discarded the gun and clothing.

A warrant search of his apartment resulted in the recovery of ammunition that was the same kind found in the firearm and at the scene of the shooting.

At his plea proceedings, Brown admitted to unlawfully possessing the loaded gun.

In addition to his prison time, he will face five years of post-release supervision.
