Green Bay Man Admits to Illegal Gun and Ammunition Possession

Two men were sentenced to prison for possessing firearms and ammunition in a recent court appearance. The first, 39-year-old Jamall Prince from Seatons, was arrested on June 17 during a police operation.

Officers were searching for a suspect when they noticed three men together.

Upon recognizing the police, one man fled and hid between two parked vehicles. The police, feeling suspicious, pursued him and apprehended him.

Although no illegal items were found on Prince, a subsequent search of the area revealed a black and silver Smith and Wesson 9mm pistol concealed under some brush nearby.

When Prince appeared in court, he received a sentence of three years and five months in HM Prison for firearm possession, along with an additional year for ammunition possession, with both sentences running concurrently.

    Well he did the crime, no mercy do the time. There was a gun amnesty and he opted not to take part in it. So deal with the consequences

    Another case of an illegal firearm ending up in the wrong hands. It’s worrying how frequent these stories are.
