Quincy Mathews Jr. has been sentenced in a Toledo courtroom for a Monroe Street parking lot shooting. The plea deal sends him to prison for eight to ten years, six months total.
Judge Joseph McNamara handed down the sentence on Sept. 23 after Mathews pleaded guilty to several charges.
Mathews pleaded guilty to felonious assault, participating in a criminal gang, two counts of having weapons under disability and a firearm specification.
The judge ordered 30 months on each weapons under disability charge. He also gave five to seven years, six months for the felonious assault and gang charges.
McNamara added three years for the firearm specification.
The weapons, assault and gang sentences will run at the same time. The firearm specification will be served after those sentences end.
With 167 days of jail credit, Mathews faces a total prison term of eight to 10 years, six months.
Toledo police said Mathews shot at a car using a fully automatic gun in early March. No injuries were reported.
Mathews was arrested on April 10. His bond had been set at $300,000.
A Lucas County grand jury indicted Mathews on April 20 on a longer list of charges. Those original charges included three counts of having weapons while under disability.
The grand jury also charged three counts of felonious assault, one count of participating in criminal gang activity, eight weapon specifications, three repeat offender specifications and two criminal gang activity specifications.
The plea deal resolved the case without a trial. Mathews pleaded to a smaller set of charges than the grand jury had handed up.
A Lucas County grand jury is a panel of citizens that reviews evidence and decides whether to formally charge someone with a crime. A firearm specification in Ohio adds extra prison time when a gun is used in a felony.
