Rasul Palmer will have to serve the whole sentence without parole eligibility, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.
Palmer had pleaded guilty to certain person not to possess firearms, the prosecutor said.
On May 24, 2022, Pleasantville police were requested to assist with the service of a temporary restraining order on Palmer, the prosecutor said.
The subject of the restraining order described the weapon at the TRO hearing as a black gun, which would be at Palmer’s residence or in his automobile, the prosecutor said.

Based on prior convictions for robbery and burglary, Palmer was charged with the weapons offense, the prosecutor said.
