A Richmond man was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
According to court documents, on Oct. 3, 2023, Henrico County Police responded to a call for a fight at an apartment complex on Henrico Arms Place.
A woman who was not involved in the fight approached the officers and reported that she had just been assaulted by Jamie Louis Cook, 39, who is the father of her child.
When an officer attempted to place Cook into custody for domestic assault, Cook attempted to flee from the officers.
As Cook fled, he reached into his waistband, removed a loaded 9mm handgun, and dropped it on the ground.
Cook eventually stopped running and was taken into custody. The officers recovered the firearm that Cook allegedly dropped which had been reported as stolen in November 2021.
Cook has previous felony convictions for robbery, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
