Regan Jelks gets jail time for weapons offenses

Jelks, of Warren and Detroit, was sentenced in Trumbull County in March 2015 after being convicted at trial of complicity to improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle and a misdemeanor count of the offense involving Walker's death.

A Warren police officer shot and killed Walker on Risher Road in a Warren confrontation in which the officer said Walker refused commands and reached for a gun while the officer investigated Walker's car being in a ditch.

On dash cam video in the aftermath of the shooting, Jelks could be seen being escorted from the scene screaming "Please don't kill me."
