St. Louis Man Sentenced for Gun Crime
A St. Louis man has been sentenced to 37 months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Shaun Williams, a 37-year-old resident of St. Louis, Missouri, pleaded guilty to the charge. The crime occurred on September 8, 2019, when Williams was approached by St. Louis County Police after officers saw him getting out of a vehicle reported stolen in St. Louis City.
Williams ran from the officers after being told he was being detained in reference to the stolen vehicle. Additional officers responded to search the area and found Williams in the backyard of a vacant home. A loaded Hi Point Model 995 rifle-style firearm was found in the backseat of the stolen car Williams had been driving.
Williams admitted he ran from the officers due to his knowledge of the firearm in the car.
The St. Louis County Police investigated the case.
Williams was sentenced by United States District Judge Henry E. Autrey to 37 months in prison.
