This came after a wild brawl at a convenience store last year. He's 37, known as MO, and U.S. District Judge Kari Dooley dropped the hammer in Bridgeport Court this week, adding three years of supervised, release on top. The trouble kicked off February 19th, 2023, in South Hartford, surveillance caught Carter in a fight, swinging a gun magazine at a guy's head and spilling MO everywhere. He bolted toward Weathersfield, ditching two handguns at his car window along the way. Cops pulled over the vehicle on not-street, found a loaded magazine inside, and nabbed him right there. Later, a local spotted the tossed guns at a driveway, and called it in, police recovered both firearms, plus extra ammo from the store scene. Carter's been locked up since. His rap sheet goes back to a 2013 federal bus for crack cocaine conspiracy, and he was
