A Richmond man was sentenced Tuesday to 27 months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Nathaniel Jay Brown, 35, has multiple felony convictions and cannot legally possess a firearm.
According to court documents, on Sept. 5, 2023, Henrico County Police officers performed a traffic stop on Brown after observing him committing traffic infractions.
During the traffic stop and in response to an officer’s questions, Brown indicated that he was in possession of a firearm.
After Brown got out of the vehicle, the officer retrieved from Brown’s waistband a .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun with a fully loaded magazine.
Brown had a similar charge against him previously: a 2013 conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
