Kankakee man sentenced to 7 years on federal weapons charges

A 33-year-old Kankakee man was sentenced to seven years in federal prison after pleading guilty to three counts of possession of weapons by a felon.

Andre Davis was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Colin Bruce last week. He had been in custody of the U.S. Marshals Service since his arrest in May 2016.

Last October, Davis pleaded guilty to all three weapon charges. He’s said to have sold the weapons to undercover agents.

Davis had a 2003 Kankakee County felony conviction for aggravated battery to a peace officer and a 2004 conviction for delivery of a controlled substance.
