JEHOSTHAT BRADY
Last week, two men were sentenced to prison for their role in a gun store burglary. The crime took place in No- vember 2016.
In May 2019, a jury con- victed Jehosthat Brady and Quinton Mont- gomery for burglary of a structure while using a vehi- cle as an instrumentality and 35 counts of grand theft of a firearm. A third defendant, Demarcus Marsh, is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12, 2019.
QUINTON MONTGOMERY
According to an investi- gation by Attorney Gen- eral Ashley Moody, the Hillsborough County Sher- iff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the burglars traveled in stolen vehicles from Orlando to Tampa in the early morning hours of Nov. 29, 2016. Using a stolen Ford Raptor pick-up truck, the burglars smashed through a Tampa Arms Company store window on Waters Avenue.
DEMARCUS MARSH
The burglars gained entry grabbing as many firearms as possible in a short amount of time. In total, 35 firearms were stolen, including 21 hand- guns, 11 rifles and three shotguns that were later sold in Orlando.
The defendants are al- legedly part of a much larger group based in Orlando, using stolen vehicles to facil- itate several types of smash- and-dash burglaries. The 20-member group stole from department and retail stores to steal guns, jewelry, electronics, sporting goods and more.
In July, OSP secured a 40-year sentence for James Moore in connection to the burglary in this case.
