A 37-year-old non-fatal shooting defendant was scheduled for a jury trial in March 2024 after rejecting a plea offer from the prosecution on Dec. 11.
During Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa M. Phinn’s reception court on Monday, defendant Lonnie McClain was offered a plea of 15 years, suspending all but five years without parole, and three years of supervised probation for firearm possession with a felony conviction, a concurrent three years for having a handgun on his person and a concurrent one year for firing a gun in Baltimore City.
Under the terms of the plea, McClain would also be required to register as a gun offender.
Defense attorney Amanda Savage, who stood in for Jason Rodriguez, said McClain rejected the offer. A one-day trial was set before Judge M. Brooke Murdock on March 13, 2024.
McClain’s additional charges include reckless endangerment, illegal possession of a firearm, possessing a firearm without a serial number and illegal possession of ammo in connection to the incident on Aug. 6, 2023.
