A convicted felon from Fort Myers was sentenced to two years and six months in prison after brandishing a firearm on social media.

Terry Kristopher Flournoy, 23, was sentenced for possessing a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon. The court also ordered Flournoy to forfeit the firearm and ammunition he illegally possessed. He had pleaded guilty on Dec. 21.

According to court documents, officers from the Fort Myers Police Department arrested Flournoy on April 27, 2020, on an active warrant after he had posted a video on Instagram from a Fort Myers area restaurant. When arrested, officers located a loaded Glock pistol. Flournoy’s fingerprint was later located on the magazine of the firearm.

Officers further noted that Flournoy had posted a video on social media pointing what appeared to be a Glock pistol at the camera on the same evening of his arrest. Flournoy is a convicted felon and is thus prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition under federal law.
