A Charlotte man, Terence Gerod McBride, 39, is headed to federal prison for 22 years after a string of gun and drug trafficking crimes.
CMPD officers tried to stop McBride’s SUV on June 15, 2023, but he refused to stop, discarding a backpack containing a Glock pistol, cocaine, and cash onto a residential street.
McBride was later arrested, but not before ditching a South Carolina ID and hiding a stash of $13,994 in cash.
McBride had been released on state bond after his initial arrest and went on to become a suspect in a homicide, but the charges that stuck were possession of a firearm by a felon and using a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.
U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson vowed to take ‘armed, repeat offenders’ seriously, saying ‘taking these crimes seriously and removing dangerous people and their weapons from our streets will save countless lives.’
