Taiwanese exchange student Sun An-tso (孫安佐), who pleaded guilty to making terrorist threats against the Catholic high school he was attending in Pennsylvania has now been hit with federal firearms charges, US federal prosecutors said on Wednesday.
Sun, 18, was charged in a federal criminal complaint issued on Tuesday with possessing ammunition while in the US on a non-immigrant visa, a spokesman for the US Department of Justice said in a statement.
Sun was earlier this week sentenced to between four and 23 months in jail followed by deportation after pleading guilty in Delaware County District Court to making terrorist threats.
He plead guilty to making threats as part of an open plea agreement with Pennsylvania state prosecutors in exchange for dropping the charge of possessing an instrument of crime in the hope of facilitating his deportation. [FULL STORY]
