Lemarr Dewayne Williams, 20, was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison, after pleading guilty to multiple assault and other charges.
He pleaded guilty in two separate cases in Dorchester County Circuit Court to first-degree assault, wearing and carrying a handgun on person and second-degree assault and admitted to violating his probation. For those, Dorchester County Circuit Court Judge Brett Wilson sentenced Williams to 53 years in prison, with all but 20 years suspended.
"I try to give young people every opportunity to redeem themselves, as I did with you in 2009," Wilson said. "You became involved … in even more violent conduct. Some people just choose the life of a thug and I don't know why. For people like that, there are not a whole lot of choices other than incarceration."
Williams of 4727 Corkran Cemetary Road, Hurlock, was indicted March 2, by a Dorchester County Grand Jury for shooting at and robbing a man, possessing a gun and possessing marijuana. He pleaded guilty Monday to first-degree assault, for which he was sentenced to 25 years in prison with eight years suspended, and wearing and carrying a handgun on person, for which he was sentenced to three years in prison.
