A poor parking job doomed the 29-year-old District man, who had previously been convicted on weapons charges and served nearly two years in prison before being busted again just weeks after being let out.
This time, he was sentenced to 29 months in federal prison after he was caught by members of the Metropolitan Police Department while illegally parked with two other armed men in March 2025, according to federal authorities.
Court documents say that at around 1:45 a.m. on March 16, 2025, officers approached a black Audi A6 that was sitting in a marked no-parking zone in the Logan Circle neighborhood.
Collier, who was in the driver's seat, was ordered out of the vehicle, where officers recovered a Glock Model 29, 10mm handgun from his waistband. The firearm was loaded with 14 rounds in a magazine and one in the chamber.
Federal prosecutors say he had three previous felony convictions in DC Superior Court and was still on supervised release for a 2023 firearms offense involving another loaded Glock that police had recovered from his pants.
He had served 22 months behind bars for that conviction before being released, only to be caught with another loaded handgun less than two months later.
Collier pleaded guilty in June to unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon. In addition to his prison term, a judge also ordered that Collier serve three years of supervised release.
