HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — A woman was sentenced to seven months in federal prison Monday for bringing a concealed weapon into the federal building in Huntington.
Whitney H. Borders, 34, of Huntington, previously pleaded guilty in August 2015 to unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
In May, Borders passed through the entrance of the Sidney L. Christie United States Courthouse and Federal Building in Huntington and went through the security post to be screened for entry. While Borders was being screened, security officers found a Jennings .22 caliber pistol in her purse.
Borders was prohibited from possessing any firearm under federal law following a 2004 felony conviction in Cabell County Circuit Court for forgery.
