Milwaukee man pleads guilty to carrying concealed pistol near Republican National Convention

MILWAUKEE, JUL 14 – Donnell Tinsley pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed pistol near the convention's security zone and was sentenced to 26 days time served, court records show.

  • Donnell Tinsley, a 22-year-old Milwaukee man, pleaded guilty on July 3, 2024, to carrying a concealed weapon near the Republican National Convention.
  • Federal agents stopped Tinsley on the convention's first day in July 2024 after finding an AK-47-style pistol in his black tactical backpack near the security perimeter.
  • The arrest took place shortly after Thomas Matthew Crooks made an attempt to assassinate Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
  • Tinsley received a sentence of 26 days served from Milwaukee County Judge Marisabel Cabrera, who previously served as a Democratic state representative, while his public defender, Elizabeth Ellsworth-Kasch, chose not to provide a statement.
  • The guilty plea and sentencing concluded the case several months before Trump, then running for president, won the election held in November 2024.
