FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RANDALLSTOWN FELON EXILED TO 10 YEARS
FOR POSSESSING AMMUNITION
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake sentenced Andre Lane, age 37, of Randallstown, Maryland today to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for being a felon in possession of ammunition, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.
According to his guilty plea, on October 9, 2006 Baltimore County Police officers searched Lane’s residence and seized a magazine containing five rounds of 9mm ammunition. Because Lane had previously been convicted of a felony, his possession of the ammunition was illegal. According to information presented to the court Lane had two prior state convictions for possession with intent to distribute narcotics.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked Baltimore City State’s Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy and Assistant State’s Attorney Mia Beth Marosy; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Baltimore City Police Department; and the Baltimore County Police Department for their assistance in the investigation and prosecution. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant U.S. Attorney Bryan M. Giblin, who prosecuted the case.
