Lamar Redfield, a 34-year-old resident of the District of Columbia with prior felony convictions, has been sentenced to 65 months in prison for unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition. The sentencing was announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
Redfield pleaded guilty on May 12, 2025, before U.S. District Court Judge Loren L. AliKhan. In addition to the prison sentence, he will serve three years of supervised release.
Court documents detail that on October 21, 2024, officers from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Sixth District Crime Suppression Team were patrolling when they identified a stolen black Hyundai Sonata on Minnesota Avenue SE. As police followed the vehicle onto A Street SE, one passenger fled while Redfield, who was driving, reversed the car into a parked vehicle and then attempted to flee on foot.
While fleeing, Redfield removed a black firearm from his jacket and left it on the ground before continuing to run. Officers apprehended him after he struck one officer in the face with a closed fist during the arrest attempt. Following this incident, police detained Redfield without further resistance.
A search conducted after his arrest found Redfield carrying half an ounce of suspected methamphetamine and one ounce of suspected synthetic cannabinoids known as “K2” or “Spice.”
Redfield’s criminal history includes previous felony convictions in Arlington County, Virginia related to narcotics and firearms offenses. At the time of his October arrest, he was serving a suspended five-year sentence.
The investigation was conducted by both the Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI Washington Field Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emory V. Cole prosecuted the case.
“This case was investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI Washington Field Office,” stated U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
