Drug Dealer Who Was Freed by Barack Obama Is Back in Jail Feb 06, 2017
A San Antonio drug dealer who was given a second chance by former President Barack Obama is back behind bars.
According to the New York Post, 68-year-old Robert Martinez Gill was imprisoned in 1990 on charges of cocaine and heroin distribution. The man was originally sentenced to life; however, in 2015, Obama allowed Gill, and other non-violent federal inmates, to be released.
Gill was arrested last Thursday, when he reportedly purchased two pounds of cocaine following a meeting with his probation officer.
The Post reports Gill drove to a food market parking lot, where an individual had placed a black backpack inside his vehicle. According to the affidavit, when a sheriff deputy in an unmarked car attempted to stop him, Gill sped off and led the deputy on a high-speed chase.
Officers were able to disable Gill’s vehicle after it collided with another. They then discovered the backpack contained cocaine, which Gill intended to sell. “[He] related he was going to sell the cocaine to make money and would be paying a female $26,000 for the cocaine,” the affidavit read.
A San Antonio man who was freed from life in prison by President Barack Obama is back behind bars after allegedly crashing his vehicle into another motorist and undercover police cars while fleeing from a drug deal Thursday.
Robert M. Gill, 68, whose life sentence for cocaine and heroin distribution conspiracy was commuted by Obama and expired in 2015, was profiled last year in the Express-News about his readjustment to life on the outside.
Jailed from the time of his arrest in 1990, Gill earned a legal education inside prison libraries and successfully petitioned the then-president for a second chance after his court appeals were exhausted.
He was taken to federal court Friday, and U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Bemporad ordered him held without bond pending a bail hearing on Feb. 16. Gill is charged with possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine.
He again faces a potential sentence with a mandatory minimum, five years, and could get up to 40.
