A former baggage handler who stole six guns and ammunition from checked luggage at Portland International Airport was sentenced Monday to six months in federal prison.
After removing the guns, Deshawn Antonio Kelly then switched airline tags on the luggage he opened, sending them to different destinations. Two ended up out of the country, arriving in London and Mexico City, which delayed the owners’ reporting of the gun thefts.
One of the victims was an out-of-state police officer; another was a gun dealer, according to police and prosecutors. Five of the six guns were recovered. Kelly turned over one of the guns to a friend, a convicted felon and gang member, and it was never found, according to the government.

Deshawn = 6 mo, not 6 years.

On the plus side, at least the bureaucracies of the TSA and airlines make it really easy to spot luggage with firearms in ‘em.
Yes, I’m being snarky.

What happened to the mandatory Federal 5 years added on, for a crime committed with a gun?
Supplying a convicted felon with a stolen gun?
Six counts of firearm theft?
Interstate Commerce Commission weigh in on this yet? Unreal!

I guess deshaun is merely a feral who got a job and was trying to improve himself.

TSA Portland was one of the locations I reported an agent for unprofessional behavior to upper management.
Sounds like the same guy.
