Armed Career Criminal Act sentence enhancements: three strikes (and a gun) and you’re in prison for a long, long time.
Freddie Grant’s Guilty Past
There was the cocaine thing. No issues there. But there was also the matter of that time he went off the rail in Korea, attacked a fellow soldier’s face with a razor blade, and when military policemen were taking him away, he wrestled away one of their guns and tried to escape. Needless to say, this led to a general court-martial, a long stint at Fort Leavenworth, and a dishonorable discharge.
