Construction worker busted with illegal gun and ammo

They say that if you commit the crime, you should do the time. And it seems that’s a lesson construction worker, Marlon Curtis Usher, knew well because when he was busted with an unlicensed point twenty-five caliber Beretta Pistol and five live rounds of ammo, he quickly took responsibility for the illegal weapon. Usher was taken before Magistrate Edd P. Usher this morning and he pleaded guilty to Keeping Unlicensed Firearm and Ammunition. His time: the minimum sentence of two years behind bars because he saved court time and begged for leniency in mitigation. Usher was found with the weapon last Friday morning during a random police search for drugs on Caesar Ridge Road.
