A Jersey City man has received a lengthy sentence in federal prison for a string of armed robberies of gas stations.According to U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger, on October 3, Judge Madeline Cox Arleo in Newark federal court, sentenced Joseph Brown, 26, to 92 months in prison and three years of supervised release.During January and February of 2022, Brown — along with co-defendant Wendell Bradley Jr. of Bayonne— would drive to a gas station, pull up to a gas pump, ask the gas station attendant to put gas in the car’s tank, and, while the tank was being filled, would pull a gun on the attendant and demand money. On January 20, 2022, in Union, New Jersey, Brown pointed a gun at a gas station attendant, demanded money, and threatened to kill him. Bradley grabbed the attendant from behind but the attendant was able to break free and escape into the gas station before Brown or Bradley could take any money from him.The spree ended after Bradley and Brown robbed a gas station attendant at gunpoint in Secaucus, New Jersey. Bradley and Brown fled, and officers chased them from Secaucus to Newark, where Bradley crashed his car. While both men were running away from police, Bradley pulled his gun, approached an off-duty Essex County Sheriff’s officer, and demanded that the officer give Bradley his car. The officer disarmed Bradley and detained him.On October 10, Judge Arleo sentenced Bradley to 160 months in prison.
