A 30-year-old Bowie man already on supervised release for a gunpoint robbery has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison after police caught him carrying a loaded Glock 22 near Washington, D.C.’s U Street corridor. Tyzell Myrick pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a firearm and ammunition as a felon before a federal judge handed down the sentence.

A search turned up a .40-caliber Glock 22 loaded with 21 rounds total — one already chambered and 20 more in the magazine.

Myrick was a convicted felon at the time, which made possessing the firearm itself a federal crime regardless of any other circumstances. He was already on supervised release stemming from a 2017 armed robbery of a Maryland GameStop, in which he brandished a firearm and was later handed an 84-month prison sentence for that offense, per the same account.

Prosecutors had asked the court to impose 41 months behind bars, but U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras instead sentenced him to 33 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release once he completes his term…
