Detectives from the Logan County Sheriff’s Office did some
excellent work in cracking this case; even putting themselves in
harm’s way to recover some of the stolen weapons.
Unfortunately, deputies were unable to recover all the guns that
are the subject of these charges.
Michael E. Brosmore (DOB, April 25, 1991) and Gaymon D.
Nicholson (DOB, June 17, 1989) were both charged with
Residential Burglary and with Aggravated Possession of a Stolen
Firearm. Residential Burglary is a Class 1 felony which carries
a possible sentence from probation to prison time. Aggravated
Possession of a Stolen Firearm is a Class X felony which carries
a minimum sentence of six years in prison to a maximum of forty
years in prison.
"I intend to send a message that gun crimes of this nature will
not be tolerated in Logan County. Offenses like this are
insidious in that once illicit guns are on the street there is
no way of knowing what type of crimes they may be used to
commit. This type of threat to the public safety will simply
not be tolerated."
The public is reminded that the individuals charged today are
presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty beyond
a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
