Man Who Attempted to Take Gun to Nightclub Sentenced to Nearly Two Years
A Civil Registry employee will serve nearly two years in prison following his conviction on illegal weapons charges.
Twenty-eight-year-old Sedeki Akelo Andre of Gambles received concurrent sentences of one year and nine months for firearm possession and one year for ammunition possession when he appeared before Senior Magistrate Emanuel on Thursday.
The case stems from an incident at a local nightclub on November 16, when a police officer observed Andre entering the venue with a suspicious bulge at his waistline.
When the officer requested to conduct a search, Andre became uncooperative, telling the officer, “Everything good. Me good. Na touch me,” and physically resisted the officer’s attempts to detain him.
A security guard intervened to assist, and during the ensuing struggle, a 9mm Taurus pistol fell from Andre’s clothing. Officers also recovered seven rounds of 9mm ammunition.
Andre, represented by attorney Wayne Marsh, entered guilty pleas to both charges when he first appeared in court on Tuesday. He was remanded to custody ahead of Thursday’s sentencing.
