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.

Crazy who you people criticize the next person the man had a very rough up bringing with no no support system I was with him for years he is actually a good person n went about things in the wrong way if you were never taught the right way he was dealing abandonment issues mental issues neglect n bullying most of his life…. Everybody want to play God n judge the next person when everyone has they own flaws n demons they are hiding only difference is they have been exposed yet smh
I wonder who Mildred is?
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.
With only 48 convictions and now this one makes 49….why not give him the benefit of doubt and make it 50?!?!? This guy is a peace of work!!
Whoa! What a Bummer dude…like, no way!
I got a feeling that with 48 prior conviction he will be out in less than 6 years !!! Let this be a testimonial that the system is a failure !!! Somebody is not paying attention
He thinks all those tattoos make him look tough. Looks like a clown to me.
Good riddance of this one. Thank you Judge Nobles and ECSO for you work in getting this one off the streets.
“But he looks like such a clean cut young man,” said nobody.
wow it only took 48 previous convictions to figure out he just might be a danger to the community..-
