A guy from Sarasota named Yvens Philone got sentenced to 10 years in federal prison by Judge Susan Bucklew in Tampa . He was caught with firearms even though he ' s a convicted felon , and he was also selling fentanyl and methamphetamine . The cops found out because he sold six guns , including a "Mac - 10 machine gun , " to an undercover agent . He also sold them a bunch of meth and fentanyl . Turns out , he had a history of felonies like robbery and burglary , so he wasn ' t supposed to have any guns in the first place . The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives handled the investigation , and Assistant U . S . Attorney David P . Sullivan prosecuted the case . This whole thing is part of a program called Project Safe Neighborhoods , which is all about reducing violent crime and making neighborhoods safer . The Department launched a strategy in May 2021 to strengthen the program even more .
