Man With 48 Prior Convictions Gets 30 Years On Firearm Charge

April 11, 2023

A career criminal that opened fire after becoming angry about a car that cut in front of him at a lounge and opened fire has been sentenced to state prison.

Christopher Alexander Sidener was sentenced to 30 years for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

Jude Linda Nobles found that Sidener qualified as a habitual felony offender and imposed the maximum 30 year sentence. Nobles cited Sidener’s 48 previous criminal convictions and the clear danger that he posed to the community.

In March of 2022, Sidener became angry and opened fire while in the drive through lane at Chaser’s Lounge and Liquor Store, because a car cut in front of him, according to the State Attorney’s Office and law enforcement.

    There was a point in this guys life where he CHOOSE the path to evil. He allowed his body to be a beacon to that lifestyle. Mental health and the epidemic drug problem is creating large amounts of people to put in prison.

    He thinks all those tattoos make him look tough. Looks like a clown to me.
