Following a one-day trial in Vermont Superior Court, Bennington Criminal Division, a jury has found Max Misch, 42, of Bennington, Vermont, guilty of two counts of misdemeanor possession of large capacity ammunition feeding devices.
The case against Mr. Misch was brought by the Attorney General’s Office in February 2019 as the result of a criminal investigation conducted by the Vermont State Police with the assistance of the Bennington Police Department.
“I want to thank the jury for their service in carefully considering the law and facts in this case,” said Attorney General Clark. “I also want to thank our law enforcement partners for their assistance with the investigation, whose work was instrumental in bringing this case to a successful resolution.”
After the verdict, the Court, Judge Jennifer Barrett presiding, ordered Mr. Misch to remain released on conditions pending sentencing. The charge of Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Devices is a misdemeanor carrying a maximum sentence of one year imprisonment or a fine of not more than $500, or both.
A sentencing hearing will be scheduled by the court in the next 60 days.
