Rapper Gucci Mane is facing up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty on Tuesday to a federal firearms charge in Atlanta. His sentencing is set for July 28.
The 34-year-old, born Radric Davis, was found to have a gun on Sept. 12 and had a different gun in his possession two days later, and he acted erratically and threatened people on both occasions, according to the indictment. The plea agreement focused only on the latter incident.
The rapper pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. That particular charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail and a fine of up to $250,000. Prosecutors recommended that Davis be sentenced to serve three years and three months in prison.
Davis’ lawyer, Drew Findling, said his client is doing mentally and physically well now and is ready to get back to his life and to making music.
“The most important thing that took place today is that he accepted responsibility and is ready to move on,” Findling said. “He’s positive about his music, but most importantly, he’s really just ready to take control of his life.”
