Lovelle Jordan was somehow able to move his cuffed hands from behind his back, grabbed the gun and opened fire when a Chicago police officer opened the door for him at the station.
A convicted felon who pleaded guilty to charges that he opened fire on police in 2020 and wounding at several officers, was sentenced Monday to 31 years in prison.
The sentence comes two months after Lovelle Jordan, 27, pleaded guilty to one count of attempted murder and five counts of aggravated battery to a peace officer, the Chicago Tribune reported. The charges stem from a shooting incident that came shortly after Jordan was arrested in connection with a carjacking in downtown Chicago. Police had driven him to a station on the city’s northwest side.
Officers patted him down but while they found he was carrying drugs in his pockets, according to authorities, they did not see that he was carrying a small loaded pistol. Jordan was handcuffed behind his back.
