BALTIMORE CITY WOMAN PLEADS GUILTY TO FILING A FALSE APPLICATION TO PURCHASE A REGULATED FIREARM

Attorney General J. Joseph Curran, Jr. announced today that Yolanda Louise Cain, of Baltimore City, entered a guilty plea, in the Circuit Court for Howard County, to filing a false affidavit and application to purchase a regulated firearm. Ms. Cain has admitted to stating on the application that she was not the respondent against whom a civil protective order had been entered, when in fact a final protective order had been entered against her in the District Court for Baltimore City. The Honorable Lenore Gelfman sentenced Ms. Cain to three years, suspended the sentence and placed her on two years supervised probation.

This case was investigated and prosecuted by the Firearms Trafficking Unit of the Office of the Attorney General which is funded by the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention in cooperation with the Firearms Enforcement Section of the Maryland State Police.
