Demarco Ransom, 35, is determined to turn his life around this time, his attorney wrote in court papers before sentencing.
SAN FRANCISCO — A city resident has been sentenced to four years in federal prison for having a gun in his car during a 2021 traffic stop in the Tenderloin neighborhood, a charge that was filed only after he was arrested in a 2022 police chase, court records show.
After being arrested and released in September 2021 on suspicion of possessing the loaded pistol and 15 rounds of ammunition, Ransom was arrested in August 2022. In that incident, Ransom was only a passenger while the woman he was with allegedly rammed police cars and injured an officer, ran over police bicycles and finally stopped after police used a spike strip. The car they were in was stolen from a San Leandro resident, police said at the time.
