CONCORD - A Manchester man pleaded guilty in federal court to being a felon in possession of a firearm, the U.S. Attorneys Office announced on Wednesday.
According to court documents and statements made in court, in July of 2020, while conducting another investigation, Ashland police learned that Juan Diaz, 40, had been in recent possession of several firearms. Officers learned that while spending time with an Ashland family, Diaz had handled and shot two firearms on the family's property on June 27, 2020. Law enforcement officers also obtained photographs of Diaz shooting the firearms.
Diaz has numerous prior felony convictions that prohibit him from possessing firearms. Most recently, he had served a 10-year sentence in federal prison. He began his term of federal supervised release in May of 2020.
Diaz is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 29.
