NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – A 25-year-old man was sentenced to more than three years in federal prison after pleading guilty to a weapon violation.

Da’Shawn Marquis Richards was out on bond for a November 2021 murder and attempted murder charge when law enforcement found him with a loaded handgun in March 2023.

In a recent hearing, Richards was sentenced to 46 months in prison followed by three years of court-ordered supervision, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina.

It was the maximum sentence based on the applicable sentencing guideline range, officials said.
