PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - A Maine man involved in two shootings in Portland’s Old Port has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison on a gun charge tied to the weapon used in the shootings.
The Portland Press Herald (https://bit.ly/2ubpXmy ) reports that Moses Okot pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a gun and agreed to the maximum penalty.
He will serve the sentence, which was imposed Wednesday, after he completes a 5½-year state sentence for violating his probation on a felony murder charge for his role in a 2010 killing.
Okot is currently awaiting trial for shooting one man and stabbing and shooting another near the intersection of Pearl and Milk Streets in the Old Port in November 2015.
