Atlantic City, NJ, Man Sentenced For Unlawful Gun Possession — Again
A man from Atlantic City has been sentenced for illegally having a gun.
On Thursday, 21-year-old John Stevens received a five-year term in state prison; he must serve 3 1/2 years before becoming eligible for parole.
This sentence will run concurrently to a 3 1/2-year sentence he received earlier this year for also unlawfully possessing a handgun.
On January 10th of this year, Stevens and Carlos Garcia-Perez were stopped in the area of the 1500 block of Atlantic Avenue in Atlantic City by plainclothes detectives. Both men were allegedly found to be in possession of a concealed handgun on their respective persons.
Stevens did not possess a permit for the firearm, which was determined to be a 9mm Taurus G2C handgun.
Garcia-Perez’s case is still pending.
The public is reminded that charges are accusations and all persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
