Biography

Siobhan Browne, 37, US citizen, was charged July 26, 1999 with conspiracy to mail weapons and Arms Export Control Act violations after buying 27 guns in Florida to support the IRA. Pleaded guilty; 20 months federal prison.

Case

Charges: 22 USC 2778 Arms Export Control Act; 18 USC 371 Conspiracy to Mail Weapons - 1999 IRA gun purchase
Arrested: Jul 26, 1999
Sentenced: August 2000
Incarcerated: Jul 26, 1999
Released: January 2001
Sentence: 20 months federal prison. Arrested and detained July 26, 1999; released from Tallahassee federal prison in January 2001. The release day is unverified: January 1 is a month-precision storage placeholder. A later interview reports seventeen months actually spent in jail, distinct from a later four-month halfway-house stay for a supervision violation. The displayed total uses that documented rounded duration, not the twenty-month sentence or a guessed release day.
Judge: Wilkie Ferguson
Convicted: Yes
Plead: Guilty, March 2000
