Information from a provided press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 2, 2026, deputies from the Wyoming County Sheriff\u2019s Office responded to a residence on Garry Road in the Town of Eagle, for a report of a male subject, later identified as Matthew Craven, 38, of Eagle, entering a home while in possession of a handgun and had refused to leave.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon arrival, deputies located Craven across the street at another building and took him into
custody without incident.
Deputies recovered a loaded 9mm handgun from Craven\u2019s person, alongside a large quantity of
methamphetamine. The handgun was determined to be a privately manufactured Polymer80 style
firearm that did not bear a serial number, commonly referred to as a \u201cghost gun\u201d due to its
untraceable characteristics.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craven was also found to be a convicted felon from previous arrest making him unable to
possess a firearm. The investigation revealed that Craven had entered the residence and refused to leave when directed to do so by the homeowner while possessing the handgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Craven was transported to the Wyoming County Sheriff\u2019s Office and charged with the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\uf0b7 Criminal Possession of a Weapon 2nd Degree \u2013 Loaded Firearm (Class C Felony)
\uf0b7 Criminal Trespass in the 1st Degree (Class D Felony)
\uf0b7 Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 5th Degree \u2013 Intent to Sell (Class D
Felony)
\uf0b7 Criminal Possession of a Weapon 4th Degree \u2013 Convicted Felon (Class A Misdemeanor)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craven was later arraigned in the Town of Eagle Court and remanded to the Wyoming County
Jail on $50,000 cash bail. He is scheduled to appear in Town Court at a later date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
