A Springfield man who ducked a first-degree murder conviction in 2022 pleaded guilty to possession of a handgun by a felon in Sangamon County court on Friday.
Dalton McDermott, 29, was sentenced on the possession charge by Judge Raylene Grischow to four years in the Illinois Department of Corrections; McDermott will serve a six-month mandatory supervised release after the sentence is completed.
An online document indicates that the sentence is set to be served at 50%. Two other counts against McDermott, not having a valid firearm owner’s identification card and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, were dismissed.
