Gun Charge Results in Jail and Probation for Byron Teen

A Byron teenager has been sentenced to four-months in jail and 15-year on probation for a conviction in a case that was later linked to a shooting in Rochester.

Last December, a Rochester police officer made a routine traffic stop of a car driven by 19-year-old Demonterious Jackson. After detecting the odor of marijuana, the officer ordered Jackson out of the vehicle and during a patdown, felt a handgun. Jackson then took off running but was caught a short distance away. He had gotten rid of the weapon, but it was located and was later linked to a December 21st shooting in a southeast Rochester neighborhood.

In that case, police say a teenager fired a gun at a car. He was later apprehended and charged with the shooting. That teen told police he had traded the gun to Jackson after the shooting for some pot.
