Man who sold more than 10 guns to an undercover NYPD officer sentenced to 7.5 years in prison
A North Carolina man who prosecutors say was caught on a wiretap smuggling more than 10 semiautomatic pistols into New York City and then selling them has been sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison.
Zaquan Gaillard, 34, pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal sale of a firearm — one in the first degree and one in the second degree — earlier this year, according to the Manhattan district attorney's office.
He was convicted of trafficking more than $28,000 worth of firearms from North and South Carolina, then selling them to an undercover NYPD officer in Harlem on eight different occasions in 2021 and 2022, according to the Manhattan DA’s office.
Gaillard walked into the courtroom just before 2:30 p.m., dressed in a khaki sweatshirt and pants with his hands cuffed behind his back. A prosecutor read the state’s recommended sentence, and Gaillard’s defense attorney did not object.
Judge Ann Scherzer asked Gaillard if there was anything he wanted to say, and he quietly responded, “No, your honor.”
“Mr. Gaillard, I wish you good luck,” Scherzer said.
