Man Sentenced On Firearms Charge

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Dominique Davon Calhoun, 21, of Charleston, was sentenced Thursday to two years in federal prison after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm in January. Calhoun admitted to firing several shots from a .22 caliber pistol on March 25, 2011 while the vehicle he was riding in led Charleston police officers on a high-speed chase from Jackson Street on the East End to Garvin Avenue on the West Side. That incident occurred two days after Calhoun was convicted of wanton endangerment for an incident in 2010 during which he and another man shot up a Wertz Avenue home. He was sentenced last June to 10 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Thomas Johnston ordered Thursday that Calhoun's sentences run consecutively.
