Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, September 4, 2026 — A 36-year-old man, identified as Esau Sago, has received a 20-year prison sentence in Minneapolis-St. Paul. The conviction stems from his possession of a loaded ghost gun, which was discovered following a police chase. This marks Sago’s ninth conviction.

According to details available, Sago was legally prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition due to previous felony convictions. These prior offenses include a conviction for domestic assault.

The incident leading to the most recent charge involved a police chase, after which the loaded ghost gun was recovered. The specific date of the chase and the exact circumstances surrounding the discovery of the weapon were not provided.

A ghost gun is a firearm that is not legally registered and often assembled from parts or kits, making it difficult to trace. Their possession is subject to state and federal laws, particularly for individuals with felony records.

Sago’s sentence of 20 years reflects the seriousness of the charges, compounded by his status as a prohibited person and his history of previous convictions. The details of the prior felony convictions beyond domestic assault were not specified in the available information. The legal proceedings and the specific court where the sentencing took place were also not detailed.
