What Was His Original Charge? 

Quinton was first sentenced to 55-years in prison after he shot a woman five times in the head and left her body underneath a highway overpass after a drug deal that went wrong.  

Since then, Quinton has added multiple 20-year sentences and a 10-year sentence for attempting to assault a public servant with a deadly weapon and harassment.
