A York County man has been sentenced to 40 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to impersonating a Deputy U.S. Marshal and illegally possessing a short-barreled firearm. Jaimie Lynn Cummings, 52, received his sentence on December 2, 2025, from United States District Judge Kelli N. Neary.
According to United States Attorney Brian D. Miller, the charges stemmed from an incident on September 20, 2023. Cummings went to the Northern York Regional Police Department wearing what appeared to be a U.S. Marshal badge, tactical gear, tactical clothing, and carrying a firearm. He represented himself as a deputy U.S. Marshal but was recognized by local law enforcement as not being an officer.
After leaving the police station, Cummings was stopped by police who discovered firearms, ammunition, and rifles shorter than sixteen inches both in his car and at his home. These short-barreled rifles were possessed illegally.
When imposing the sentence, Judge Neary considered Cummings’s criminal history, personal circumstances, and the seriousness of his actions.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Northern York Regional Police Department conducted the investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Michael A. Consiglio prosecuted the case.
This prosecution is part of Operation Take Back America (https://www.justice.gov/dag/media/1393746/dl?inline), a nationwide effort led by the Department of Justice that targets illegal immigration and organized crime groups while working to reduce violent crime through collaboration with programs such as Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).
