A Queens man was sentenced earlier this week to 10 years behind bars for using threatening a motorist with a gun -- all over a parking spot in Bayside, the prosecutor's office said.
“An argument over nothing more than a parking spot escalated into a life-or-death confrontation because the defendant chose to resolve the dispute with an illegal handgun. He has now been held to full account for his criminal actions,” Katz said. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Monday that Jaquan Adams was sentenced after being convicted on Sept. 20 of three counts of criminal possession of a weapon and menacing in the second-degree for using a gun to threaten a motorist to surrender an open street parking spot in Bayside that he wanted for himself.
