Mozzy’s allegations have been cleared up
Timothy’s latest sentence is the result of federal weapons charges stemming from a traffic stop in Culver City, California last January. Officers stopped Patterson and searched his car, discovering a Glock 26 handgun, 16 rounds of 9mm ammunition and some marijuana. The police took him into custody on the spot, but he was later released on bail.
Patterson sent a letter to the local court after sentencing, stating:
“This case taught me that everything I’ve done and created can be destroyed by one mistake or error in judgment.” “A wrong step can avoid a fall,” I once read. This, I suppose, was my stumbling’ that saved me from falling. I guess I needed something like this to put my life together a little more.”
