Antonio Juan Milian, 35, of Hinesville, was sentenced to 58 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to possession of a machine gun.
The sentence includes three years of supervised release.
Orlando Marcus Williams, 35, of Savannah, received a separate sentence of 79 months in prison and three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Chief U.S. District Judge R. Stan Baker imposed both sentences, announced by Margaret E. “Meg” Heap, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Georgia. Milian is also known as “Junior,” and Williams as “Orlando Green.”
Court documents and testimony say an investigation involving U.S. Army Criminal Investigations Division, the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives developed information in June 2023 that Milian was selling firearms and narcotics in Liberty County.
In an undercover operation the following month, Milian sold a machine gun conversion device to an undercover sheriff’s deputy.
The device can make a semiautomatic firearm fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull, changing it to fully automatic operation, according to the case account.
In Williams’ case, court documents and testimony say he was found sleeping outside a hotel on West Fairmont Avenue in October 2025 with a Glock Model 17 9 mm pistol.
Savannah Police Department officers contacted him after he gave two different names, then confirmed his prior criminal history and status as a convicted felon.
Federal law prohibits people convicted of felonies from possessing firearms or ammunition.
There is no parole in the federal system. The cases were investigated by Army CID, ATF, the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office and the Savannah Police Department.
