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.

    I actually like the way these cases are being handled. Send them to jail for long periods of time. No mercy

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

    I’ll never get over how these people let a gun amnesty past them by and now they are being sent to jail!! Why run when you see the police tho? Makes no sense

    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

    If we make these sentencing more tought then it may deter these gangsters. Jail time needs to increase.
