GOSHEN – A Newburgh man will spend the next five years in state prison following his guilty plea in Orange County Court on Thursday to criminal possession of a weapon.
James Boursiquot, 26, was caught on camera footage on February 6, 2022, holding a gun with a blue laser sight. That was after police responded to a report of shots fired.
No one was present at the scene but police recovered spent shell casings and reviewed camera footage that showed Boursiquot holding a gun with a bluer laser sight.
On February 11, 2022, when spotted, he ran from officers into a residence in Newburgh where police found him with a loaded 9mm handgun with a blue laser sight and an extended magazine.
“This case is yet another example of the dangerous possession and use of unlicensed firearms,” said District Attorney David Hoovler.
