OSWEGO – On 12/01/2022 at approximately 12:13 p.m., officers with the Oswego City Police Department responded to a complaint of a male sleeping in a vehicle blocking the intersection at W. 2nd St/W. Schuyler St.
Upon arrival, officers made contact with a male who was asleep sitting in the driver seat of the vehicle and noticed a pistol in between his legs. The male was removed from the vehicle without incident and identified as Jace E. Eastman age 23 of Oswego.
Officers conducted an investigation that determined Mr. Eastman did not have a valid pistol permit for the handgun and was in possession of a controlled substance that was not prescribed to him.
Investigators with the Oswego City Drug Task Force assisted with the incident and later executed a search warrant at the residence of Mr. Eastman in conjunction with the Oswego Police Department and the Oswego County Drug Task Force.
As a result of the search warrant, a modified AR-15 rifle, and several large capacity ammunition magazines were seized as they were determined to be unlawful to possess.
Mr. Eastman was charged with the following:
Mr. Eastman was processed at the Oswego police department and arraigned in the Oswego County Central Arraignment Part Court, being released on his own recognizance. Mr. Eastman is scheduled to return to Oswego City Court on 12/22/2022 at 9:30 a.m.
The Oswego County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the investigation.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information regarding this incident or has other information about this individual is asked to contact Sgt. Bryan Thompson at (315) 297-1482. Those wishing to remain anonymous may do so.
