Wilmington drug trafficker with machinegun sentenced to 16 years

RALEIGH, NC (WWAY) — A Wilmington man was sentenced to 16 years in piston after fleeing from police with a bag containing cocaine and a fully automatic machinegun.

Kevon Bracey, 26, was caught last February running away from Wilmington Police in the South Turners Run area with a bag of cocaine and a fully automatic machinegun.
Bracey pled guilty in September. The US Attorney’s Office says Bracey had previous convictions in 2017, 2020, and 2021 so he wasn’t allowed to have any guns last February.
