Tucson Man Gets 7.5 Years in South Side Shooting
A Tucson man, receiving Social Security disability, has been sentenced to 7.5 years in prison for a South Side shooting that occurred at a bus station. Brandon Dante Richardson was sentenced by a Pima County Superior Court Judge early in January for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and drug possession charges. Richardson was in special education classes up until the 10th grade of high school, when he decided to drop out of school. He has been receiving monthly payments from Social Security disability benefits for the past couple of years. He is 19 years old.
Social Security disability benefits are used by people that are physically or mentally disabled and cannot work for a period of 12 months or longer. The checks that come in each month help people pay their bills, put food on the table, and survive while they are out of work. Disability can be claimed for a physical or mental injury or a disease such as cancer or diabetes.
