BALTIMORE (AP) - A Baltimore man who prosecutors have described as an “armed career criminal” has been sentenced to 16 years in federal prison.
U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake on Thursday sentenced 32-year-old Kirk Gross to the prison term and five years of supervised release for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Gross has had previous felony convictions, including three armed robberies and a shooting.
In Baltimore, U.S. Attorney Robert Hur portrayed Gross as an “armed career criminal with a history of committing violent gun crimes” in Maryland’s biggest city.
Prosecutors say officers also found more than 2 grams of cocaine in multiple baggies.
