\"Nickaury<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

22-year-old Nickaury DeJesus, from Allentown, Pennsylvania was sentenced today in federal court for her straw purchase of seven weapons for seven men who used those guns to rob seven area businesses. She got three years<\/a> in federal prison;<\/p>\n

Each time, federal prosecutors allege, DeJesus lied on the form that gun buyers must fill out, swearing that she was purchasing the pistols for herself.<\/p>\n

Two of those weapons have now been linked to a convicted felon who allegedly recruited and organized a convenience store robbery crew that held up seven businesses and their customers at gunpoint last May, court records show.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Lehigh Valley Live<\/a>;<\/p>\n

DeJesus told prosecutors she bought the firearms to pay rent at a Law Street home she shared with her four children, her sister and a family friend. In one purchase, she only made $11, records say.<\/p>\n

Two of the pistols bought by DeJesus were used in the armed robbery spree in Allentown. DeJesus denied knowing that some of the firearms were used in the robberies.<\/p>\n

Two other firearms were found during arrests in Allentown and Brooklyn, prosecutors said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The seven guys who were busted with the guns are looking at trial in October. I guess that they wanted to get this one off the streets first. But, congratulations to the prosecutor and my heartfelt thanks to him for actually getting this criminal off the streets. She was a criminal force-multiplier. I’m glad a prosecutor takes his job seriously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
