NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – CHRISTOPHER
DORSEY, aka "BG", age 28, a resident of New Orleans, Louisiana, was
sentenced today by U. S. District Court Judge Helen G. Berrigan to serve 168 months
(14 years) in federal prison. Dorsey pled guilty to two counts of being a felon
in possession of a firearm and one count of participating in a conspiracy to
obstruct justice on December 7, 2011, without the benefit of a plea agreement.
In addition to the term of imprisonment, Judge Berrigan ordered that DORSEY be
placed on three (3) years of supervised release following the term of
imprisonment, during which time the defendant will be under federal supervision
and risks an additional term of imprisonment should he violate any terms of his
supervised release.
According to the indictment, DORSEY, who
had three prior felony drug convictions from 1998 through 2003, was in
possession of a firearm between August 2009 and November 2, 2009 and again on
November 3, 2009. (Counts 1 and 2).
The indictment also charges DORSEY with
conspiring to obstruct justice with two other individuals, Jerod Fedison and
Demounde Pollard. The indictment alleges that these three individuals conspired
with each other to obstruct justice by getting Pollard to sign a false
affidavit attesting that neither Fedison nor DORSEY possessed three firearms on
November 3, 2009.
Both Fedison and Pollard have already
pled guilty in connection with this investigation. Fedison was sentenced earlier
this year to serve 20 years (240) months for his role in these offenses.
Pollard pled guilty to misprision of a felony, and received a sentence of 30
months in prison.
The case was investigated by the ATF and
the New Orleans Police Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States
Attorney Maurice E. Landrieu, Jr.
