Sentencing for illegal possession of firearm charges is typically between 10 to 15 years as was seen in the recent case of Mavado’s son, Dantay Brooks. However, a number of mitigating factors worked in Tommy Lee Sparta’s favor.
The dancehall artist Tommy Lee Sparta has pleaded guilty to illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition and was sentenced to three years in jail.
He was sentenced to three years imprisonment for illegal possession of firearm and two years for illegal possession of ammunition. But in all he will just be serving three years in prison since the sentences will start and run at the same time.
