Dillon man sentenced to 18 months for unlawfully possessing firearms (DOJ)

MISSOULA - A Dillon man who unlawfully kept a cache of firearms in his home was sentenced today to 18 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and a fine of $10,000, Acting U.S. Attorney Mark Steger Smith said.

Cameron Duane Haworth, 50, pleaded guilty in April 2026 to unlawfully possessing a firearm.

U.S. District Judge William W. Mercer presided.

The government alleged in court documents that Haworth was a convicted felon prohibited from possessing firearms. When law enforcement served a search warrant on Haworth's home on Aug. 13, 2025, agents found six firearms with ammunition. In an interview following the search, Haworth admitted to law enforcement that he knew the guns were there.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Katy Stack prosecuted the case. The ATF conducted the investigation.
