A Traverse City man was arraigned last week on charges that he allegedly took two shotguns from a home in Elmwood Township and sold them at a pawn shop.

Esteban G. Rivera, 21, of 810 Birch Wood Ave., Traverse City, was arraigned in 86th District Court on two counts of larceny of a firearm, two counts of larceny in a building, and one count of carrying a firearm in the commission of a larceny. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 21 at 10:15 a.m. He is currently lodged in the County Jail with a $75,000 cash bond.

According to court documents, between July 13 and Aug. 2, Rivera removed two shotguns from a home in Elmwood Township in which he was allegedly staying in at the time. County Sheriff’s Department Detective R. Clint Kerr, who investigated the larceny, was notified by a Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Department investigator that two shotguns matching the description of those taken from the Elmwood Township home had been sold at a Traverse City pawn shop on July 16. Kerr obtained the two guns and confirmed they had been taken from the county. Rivera allegedly received $115 from the pawn shop for the two guns.

If he is found guilty of first, second or fifth charge, Rivera faces a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $2,500. If he is found guilty of the third or fourth charges, the maximum is up to four years in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
