Albany -- "Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares announced Friday that Frederick Anderson, 24, of Albany, was sentenced to five years in prison and five years post release supervision.
On September 14, 2007, Anderson pled guilty to one count of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree, a Class “C” Armed Felony.
On September 3, 2006 shortly after 1 a.m. at Western Avenue and Hillcrest Avenue, Guilderland Police Officers performed a vehicle and traffic stop.
Upon interviewing the occupant of the vehicle, police observed a bulge under Anderson’s shirt. He was asked to exit the vehicle and when he was going to be patted down, he took off running. The officer indicated that he observed Anderson running with a firearm in his hand.
Subsequently, a search was done of his residence and a loaded .32 caliber handgun was recovered.
“Yet again, another young man is going to jail for the next five years for carrying a gun on the streets of Albany County. I hope every young man realizes that you don’t have to use, or even show off the gun, just having that weapon can land you in prison for a long time,” said Soares.
Must have been one helluva thin shirt for a .32 to be printing like that. Guy obviously didn't know that cops are attracted to bulges like a duck to water.
Kudos to Albany for taking this obviously violent offender off the streets. Imagine the gall of someone in this day and age trying to exercise a Constitutional right.
Thanks to The War on Guns.
