A defendant pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior firearms conviction and was scheduled for sentencing.
As part of a plea agreement with the prosecution, Richard Little’s other charge for unlawful possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device was dropped. The prosecution also agreed to not add any additional charges and ask for a sentence no longer than 28 months.
During the Sept. 28 hearing, Judge John Campbell accepted the defendant’s guilty plea and scheduled a sentencing hearing for Dec. 10.
Little, 33, was charged after fleeing from Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers in a car and then running from them on the alleyway corner of Alden Place, NE and 33rd Street, NE, on April 20. The defendant threw a jacket while running from MPD officers. After the police caught the Little, officers discovered the jacket with a loaded AM-15 semi-automatic pistol and a 30 round magazine.
