Santos Price, 41, of Atlanta, has been sentenced by United States District Judge Julie Carnes to serve 15 years in prison on a charge of possessing a weapon as a convicted felon.Price, who had five prior felony convictions, was sentenced to 15 years in prison to be followed by 5 years of supervised release.
According to the United States Attorney's Office, and the information presented in court, on June 13, 2007, at approximately 10:45 a.m., an Atlanta Police Department officer observed Price driving a vehicle without a seatbelt. After Price parked the car, the officer got out of his car and approached Price’s open driver’s-side window. As the officer got closer, he noted a strong odor of burnt marijuana coming from inside the car.
When Price was unable to provide any identification, the officer placed him under arrest. As the officer detained Price, he noticed a small marijuana cigar in the ashtray of the center console of the car.
A subsequent search of Price’s vehicle revealed that Price had, in addition to above-mentioned marijuana cigar, another marijuana cigar, six colored bags containing marijuana, and a fully loaded handgun, with 19 rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, inside the vehicle.
