What are the charges against Mozzy?
Patterson was sentenced as a result of a federal gun charge that emerged from a traffic stop that happened in January last year at Culver City, California.
He was stopped by cops who searched the vehicle and found a Glock 26 handgun, 16 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and some marijuana. He was arrested by the officers at the scene but was released later on bail.
Patterson even wrote a letter to a local judge after the sentencing:
“This case made me realize that everything I have accomplished and built can be taken away because of a single mistake or lapse in judgment. I once read that, a stumble may prevent a fall.’ I believe this was my ‘stumble’ which will prevent me from taking a ‘fall.’ I think I needed something like this to give a little more structure to my life.”
