Vernell Thrower, 30, was sentenced to six years and eight months in federal prison.
OAKLAND — A Bay Area man was sentenced to six years and eight months in federal prison Thursday, after pleading guilty to offenses related to a 2017 shootout during an attempted burglary at a marijuana grow warehouse in Richmond, court records show.
Several defendants have pleaded guilty, with sentences ranging from three to 10 years, court records show. “Mr. Thrower is not the same man he was in 2017, when these offenses were committed,” Cohen wrote. “He is now in his 30s, and having spent the last two years in custody in connection with these cases, he has grown considerably since 2017. Mr. Thrower is no longer a young hothead who spends his time with the wrong crowd.”
