Special Guest:  Nathan Haddad

Nathan Haddad, a decorated combat veteran, was arrested in February in New York for possessing unloaded 30-round magazines. Mr. Haddad, who has been recognized by the Army for his selfless acts of generosity to fellow soldiers, was charged with five felony counts of possession of “high-capacity” magazines.

For the possession of the magazines, Mr. Haddad was arrested, booked in county jail and charged with five counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, according to the arrest report. Mr. Haddad did not have his AR-15 rifle in the car, but it is unclear whether he had another firearm. Police say that he was in possession of a New York State carry permit. He was not charged with any other offenses.

These charges are considered “violent class D violent felony offenses” under New York state law and carry a punishment that ranges widely from conditional discharge to seven years in state prison.

Mr. Haddad explains to Pete that last week he took a plea deal and received a $2000.00 fine and a years probation. In exchange for a guilty plea the 5 felonies were lowered to 2 misdemeanors. While Mr. Haddad  maintains his innocence he said the court system gave him very little choice but to plead guilty.
