PORTLAND, Maine — A Lewiston man pleaded guilty in a Portland courtroom Tuesday to being a felon in possession of ammunition.

"Video cameras at two residences recorded Moran-Stenson firing shots across the street before he ran into a parked car and fired additional shots as the vehicle drove away," the release said. "Investigators recovered .40 caliber shell casings from the area."
