BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) -- A Gadsden man was sentenced to three years in prison for illegal possession of ammunition.
D'Angelo Martin, 28, was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty in October to being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to U.S. Attorney Prim F. Escalona. Martin is prohibited from having ammunition because of prior felony convictions.
On April 24, 2023, Gadsden police officers responded to a call that someone had shot at a vehicle in front of the caller's residence. GPD found a shell casing on the porch. Martin reportedly admitted to possessing the ammunition that officers found outside the home.
