A Camden gunrunner was sentenced today to 15 months in prison for buying five firearms in North Carolina for her cousin to sell in New Jersey, authorities said.

Johanna Betty Young, 25, pleaded guilty in June to a count of conspiracy to deal firearms without a license.

Young was living in North Carolina in 2011 when her cousin, Wendelle Ford, allegedly gave her money to apply for firearms permits. Ford, 42, of Camden, is a convicted felon and could not legally possess or purchase guns, authorities said.

According to federal prosecutors, Ford traveled to Fayetteville, North Carolina, in 2012, visited several gun shops with Young, and told her which weapons to buy. Young purchased a Springfield XDM 9 mm, a Springfield XD .45, a Squires Bingham handgun, a Taurus PT740 .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol and a Kel-Tec PF-9 9 mm semi-automatic pistol. Young then transported the firearms to Camden, where Ford gave her an additional $200 for each gun.

1. I had a good friend who made good money buying cheap handguns firing them and selling

them in the newspaper 4 or 5 months later. He was checked out by the ATF, he just said he liked to try different guns and would get tired of them and sell them.
