(Addyston, Oh.) – Former Addyston Police Chief Dorian LaCourse is scheduled for sentencing this week.

According to court documents, LaCourse knowingly and willingly combined, conspired and agreed to acquire machine guns by means of fraud and false statements and representations to re-sell the weapons for profit. Co-conspirators Jonathan Marcum, of Laurel, and Christopher Petty, of Lawrenceburg, have also pleaded guilty in the case.
