Description: Cedar Rapids criminal lawyer represented Defendant charged with Manslaughter and Possession of Firearm

A man who fled from a traffic stop and possessed a firearm two days after shooting a female victim in the face was sentenced today to more than eight years in federal prison.

Larenzo Burnett, age 22, from Battle Creek, Michigan, received the prison term after a January 5, 2022 guilty plea to being a felon and drug user in possession of a firearm.

At the guilty plea, Burnett admitted that on December 24, 2020, he possessed a Taurus 9mm pistol. He was prohibited due to being an unlawful user of marijuana and because he was previously convicted of intimidation with a dangerous weapon in 2020. At sentencing, evidence showed that Burnett also attempted to obstruct justice by attempting to influence a witness.

Outcome: Burnett was sentenced to 99 months imprisonment and fourteen days and fined $100. He must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term.
