Deandre Shawn Freeman Goes To Prison For "Furniture Mistreatment" Shooting Incident...

MNDOC mugshot, therefore public domain, blog post by John Hoff

If my name was Deandre Shawn Freeman, and I was going to pick an alias, I'd probably go with something like "William Jones." You know, something common....something that doesn't stand out from the crowd...certainly not a memorable name.

But what does Freeman use for an alias?

Lavelle Wayne Sprinkle.

(Rolling my eyes)

This according to the criminal complaint that ultimately sent Freeman to prison until 2017 for a North Minneapolis shooting that started as a dispute over how another guy (Edwaldon Fells) was treating the furniture...

Like so many people who are in possession of guns, Freeman was not legally allowed to be in possession of guns. Here's his rap sheet (these might not all represent convictions) not including the most recent conviction which sent him to prison.
