The cameraman from the "Stop Snitching" video has been sentenced to 30 years in prison on drug and weapons charges. U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake sentenced 35-year-old Akiba Matthews in federal court in Baltimore on Wednesday. Matthews was convicted in May on heroin distribution and gun possession charges.
Prosecutors say Matthews was a convicted felon when Baltimore police saw him selling heroin while armed with a .40 caliber handgun in November.
Matthews was the cameraman and appeared in portions of the "Stop Snitching" street video police say was used by drug dealers to intimidate witnesses and discourage people from reporting crimes.
