ARMONK, NY — A Westchester man caught with a stockpile of illegal guns will go to prison, but escaped the maximum sentence sought by prosecutors.

Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace says that 27-year-old Brandon Brois, of Armonk, was sentenced on Tuesday to seven years in prison for weapons possession.

While prosecutors requested a term of 12 years in state prison, the state supreme court judge sentenced Brois to the minimum term, according to the DA.

In October of 2024, a jury found Brois guilty on 10 counts, including second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

"Our office remains fully committed to combatting the scourge of illegal firearms that plague our community," DA Cacace said. "Far too often these illegal firearms land in the hands of our most violent criminals, resulting in serious assaults and, at times, homicide. We will continue to team with law enforcement to keep all of Westchester safe."

The case was investigated by the North Castle Police Department, the Westchester County Department of Public Safety, the Westchester County Department of Public Safety's Real Time Crime Center, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Westchester County District Attorney's Office.

The case was prosecuted by Violent Criminal Enterprise Bureau Chief James Bavero and ADA Courtney Johnson.
