Federal judge sentences Ironwood man to a decade in prison for stealing firearm

MARQUETTE, MI— An Ironwood man has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for stealing a gun and threatening someone with it.

Robert Lee Reynolds, 28, of Spartanburg, South Carolina and Ironwood was accused of stealing a pistol from an Ironwood resident in May 2023. He then threatened to kill the individual.

Reynolds later appeared on social media, brandishing the pistol and threatening more people.

Investigators eventually found Reynolds and the gun in a vehicle he was driving in Menominee. He fled from police before turning himself in after a standoff.

Reynolds was sentenced to 120 months in prison Wednesday for possession of a stolen firearm.
