Prosecutors in Montgomery County plan to seek a minimum of 20 years in prison for Scott Michael Grondin, the leader of a multi-county gun trafficking organization. As part of this illegal operation, Grondin is accused of facilitating the movement of 16 firearms, with only six currently recovered, while neglecting the safety of the community he affected.
