WATERTOWN — The New York State Police, in collaboration with multiple law enforcement agencies, executed search warrants on March 18, resulting in the arrest of two individuals and the seizure of 33 firearms, ammunition, and other contraband.
The investigation began on February 24, when Troopers assigned to SP Watertown discovered that Guy J. Plumb was in possession of an illegal revolver.
Further investigation by the Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit (CTIU)-North determined that Plumb did not possess a valid New York State Pistol Permit.
Members of the Troop D Community Stabilization Unit (CSU) conducted follow-up interviews and gathered additional intelligence, which indicated that both Plumb and his father, Timothy D. Plumb, were in possession of illegal firearms without proper permits.
Search warrants were executed at two locations with the assistance of Troop D VGNET Syracuse/Utica, CTIU-North, Troop D-Zone 3 BCI, Troop D-Zone 3 Uniform Patrol, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
At 46381 Barnes Settlement Road, authorities seized multiple boxes of dangerous fireworks, two Kung Fu stars, numerous rounds of ammunition in various calibers, and three long guns.
Two deceased canines were found at the location, which investigators determined were intentionally shot and killed by Guy Plumb.
At 24480 Swan Hollow Road, officers seized a .22 caliber converted assault weapon, eight long guns, and numerous rounds of ammunition.
At 25955 State Route 26, authorities found five loaded revolvers, one pistol, fifteen long guns, and numerous rounds of ammunition.

Plumb, 28, from Redwood, was arrested and charged with Criminal Sale of a Firearm 2nd, Criminal Possession of a Firearm (2 counts), Criminal Sale of a Semiautomatic Rifle, Criminal Possession of a Weapon 4th, Conspiracy 5th, Unlawful Dealing with Fireworks and Dangerous Fireworks, and Aggravated Cruelty to Animals (2 counts).
Timothy D. Plumb, 52, from Plessis, was arrested and charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon 2nd (7 counts) and Criminal Possession of a Firearm (6 counts).
