Antonio Cartwright learned his fate when he appeared before Justice Franklyn Williams Wednesday.
He was arrested on May 5, 2022 on St. Lucia Street in Elizabeth Estates.

He was arrested soon after with the weapon by another unit.
A jury acquitted Cartwright of the attempted murders of the officers, but found him guilty of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.
