A Central Point man was sentenced to federal prison today for felon in possession of a firearm.
Jonathan Anthony Kinsella, 53, was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison and three years of supervised release. The verdict comes after he and his co-defendants targeted an elderly victim and stole over $250,000 worth of gold, cash, and firearms.
According to court documents, in August 2023, Kinsella, a convicted felon, came up with a plan and solicited his wife and friend to burglarize an elderly victim. Kinsella and the two co-defendants split approximately $103,000 in cash, $180,000 in gold coins, and five firearms.
Police executed a search warrant at Kinsella’s residence and found a .40 S & W caliber pistol, a .30-30 Winchester caliber rifle, a Colt .38 Special revolver, and a 12-guage weapon made from a shotgun.
On February 1st, 2024, a federal grand jury in Medford returned an indictment charging Kinsella with two counts of felon in possession of a firearm. On October 20th, 2025, Kinsella pleaded guilty to felon in possession of a firearm.
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Judith Harper prosecuted the case.
