Convicted Drive By Shooter Martel Allen Brown Isn't Allowed To Possess Firearms, So Guess What He Allegedly Possessed, Fired, And Threw Over A Fence While Police Were Chasing Him?

Martel Allen Brown, who reportedly lives at 6437 Pleasant Ave. S. in Richfield but, on a recent Hennepin County jail roster, was listed at 2925 Lyndale Ave. N., is charged with being a prohibited person in charge of a firearm.

According to a criminal complaint, click here, Minneapolis police responded to a shooting on January 15. The victim reported two black males ran from the scene after the attempted robbery. Police ordered one of the males to stop but the male ran in (as my drill sergeant would have phrased it) IN A HIGHLY MOTIVATED MANNER...

Brown was seen pulling out a long-barreled silver handgun, which he threw over a wooden privacy fence. Police caught Brown and he tried to claim it was a KNIFE he had thrown, but officers found a handgun EXACTLY WHERE THEY'D SEEN HIM THROW IT. When the pistol was recovered, it had two discharged cartridges and four live rounds.

It was only September 10 of 2010 that Brown was convicted in a drive-by shooting.

(So, the blogger wonders, why is he running around loose committing a robbery? Allegedly?)

Since Brown is prohibited FOREVER from possessing a handgun, he is now charged with possessing a handgun.

Is there a vicious circle at work, here, or is it just very hard to control criminals by passing laws?

LET ME BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU:

Because I believe the police and prosecutors over the illiterate word of an anonymous internet commenter.

Did you get that? Anything else you can't grasp about that?

8:36AM is correct. Brown pleaded guilty on July 30, 2008 to one felony count of Drive-by Shooting. The case is referenced in the criminal complaint the link is posted for (Case No. 27-CR-07-128815), but the guilty plea and sentencing happened in 2008. The complaint linked apparently has that date wrong.

The criminal complaint described in this post is "State of Minnesota vs Martel Allen Brown", "Name FML: Martel Allen Brown. DOB 5/23/87"

If one were to look for Name: FML "Martel Allen Brown" in MNCIS, the Drive-by felony conviction would not be found. That case is in MNCIS as follows.

Case No. 27-CR-07-128815
State of Minnesota vs ALLEN MARTEL BROWN
Defendant: BROWN, ALLEN MARTEL Male
DOB: 05/23/1987
