Convicted Felon Gets 12 Years for Gun and Crack | Richmond News

Thirty-nine-year-old Brian Lamont Jones just got 12 years and 7 months in prison after being caught with a gun and over 28 grams of crack cocaine — a charge that escalated when cops found 67 grams of heroin, 156 grams of crack, 320 grams of cocaine, and multiple firearms during a search. With three prior drug trafficking convictions, he’s a felon barred from guns — and this wasn’t his first rodeo. He accepted a plea deal in April 2026 that dropped two charges, but the gun and crack distribution counts remained. After serving his time, he’ll be on supervised release for four years — a sentence that underscores the gravity of his actions and history.
