Description: Baltimore, MD - Baltimore Felon Exiled To 7 Years In Prison For Possessing A Gun And Cocaine

United States District Judge Richard D. Bennett sentenced Darius Junior, age 26, of Baltimore, Maryland, to seven years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for possessing a firearm after a felony conviction and possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute.

According to the plea agreement, on February 12, 2016, Baltimore City police made a vehicle stop of a Toyota in the 3300 block of McCulloh Street, just south of Gwynn Falls Parkway. Upon approach, the police could readily detect the odor of marijuana emanating from the Toyota. Junior was in the front passenger seat of the car. During the investigation that ensued, the police observed and seized a .32 caliber revolver tucked in Junior’s waistband area. A search of Junior’s person yielded distributable amounts of cocaine, cash and a .32 caliber bullet. At the time of his arrest, Junior had sustained three felony convictions punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year, including a separate handgun violation and two armed robbery convictions in Baltimore City.

Acting United States Attorney Stephen M. Schenning commended the FBI, Baltimore Police Department and Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office for their work in the investigation.

Outcome: Defendant was sentenced to seven years in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
