United States of America v. Anthony Charles Deberry

St. Paul, Minnesota criminal defense lawyer represented Defendant charged with illegally possessing a firearm following a shootout at a St. Paul Bar.



On the afternoon of September 18, 2021, Anthony Charles Deberry, ate 41, got into a verbal altercation with a man inside Born's Bar in St. Paul and, as a result, was kicked out of the bar and prohibited from re-entering. Deberry remained in the vicinity of the bar and at times continued to antagonize the man. Later that evening, Deberry approached the bar, followed a group of men, and brandished a 9mm handgun with an activated laser site. Shortly thereafter, gunfire broke out, including one shot fired by Deberry. Deberry suffered from multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Regions Hospital. Surveillance video footage from Born's Bar showed Deberry hide his firearm under a parked car after the shooting. Responding law enforcement officers recovered Deberry's firearm as well as multiple discharged cartridge casings on the sidewalk.



Because Deberry has prior felony convictions, he is prohibited from lawfully possessing firearms or ammunition at any time.



This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the St. Paul Police Department.



Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph S. Teirab and Lindsey E. Middlecamp tried the case.
