A Stamford woman, Jackdelys Maldonado, is sentenced to one year in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy charges related to a botched gun sale that turned into an armed robbery, resulting in injuries to four police officers. Maldonado, 23, was the last of four codefendants to plead guilty following the incident that occurred on July 1, 2021, where a planned illegal firearm transaction devolved into chaos as suspects attempted to rob the buyer at gunpoint.

The case underscores the dangers associated with illegal gun sales and their potential to escalate into violence, raising concerns within the Stamford community.
