Michael Broadie, a 40-year-old Albany man, has been sentenced to 10 years in state prison followed by 5 years of post-release supervision for a second-degree gun possession charge in a separate case. Broadie is also facing charges for an alleged shootout with Troy police officers in December 2024.

Why it matters

This case highlights the ongoing challenges law enforcement faces in addressing gun violence and repeat offenders in the Albany and Troy areas. The sentencing for the gun possession charge will run consecutively to any potential sentence Broadie receives for the alleged shootout, underscoring the seriousness with which the justice system is treating these incidents.

The details

In September 2024, police found Broadie in possession of a loaded Beretta 9mm pistol, as well as two other firearms and cocaine, after he was seen leaving an apartment armed with a handgun. Broadie's DNA was found on all three guns. The sentence handed down on Monday will run consecutively to any time he receives for the December 2024 incident in which he allegedly fired at Troy police officers, for which he has been charged with attempted murder of a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon, and criminal possession of a controlled substance.

  • In September 2024, Broadie was found in possession of the firearms and cocaine.
