five years’ probation after his December conviction on two of seven counts related to the acquisition and possession of a machine gun.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Keller argued that
a police officer being convicted of a federal gun crime was unusual and wrote in a sentencing memo that Barrett should consider Spicer’s
“pattern of deception, dishonesty, fraud, unethical and otherwise criminal behavior.”During trial, Spicer admitted to signing (Greene County Sheriff) Fischer’s name on documents and using his own money to acquire a Heckler and Koch HK416 machine gun. Spicer was found guilty of knowingly possessing a machine gun and of possessing a gun that was not registered to him in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. Spicer was found not guilty on five counts related to falsifications on documents to purchase and register the gun and misrepresenting himself as a police officer.
