Out of the four people charged in the burglary, one was given a 30-month sentence, two were released from jail, and charges were dismissed against a fourth.
SAN FRANCISCO — A Bay Area man avoided federal prison after pleading guilty to playing a role in the May 2020 burglary of a Hayward gun store where more than two dozen firearms were stolen, court records show.
Hampton was indicted in 2020, along with fellow Oakland residents Dashawn Taylor, Anthony Craft Jr., and a fourth person whose charges were swiftly dismissed. Taylor, like Hampton, was sentenced to no additional jail or prison time. Craft, by contrast, received 30 months behind bars. In court papers, Alan Dressler, the attorney representing Hampton, wrote that a prison sentence would be “devastating” to him and his family and impede Hampton’s rehabilitation. Hampton also wrote an apology letter that says, “I just want to be a better me.”
