The South Burlington man, known colloquially as âPizza Manâ has asked to withdraw a guilty plea for reportedly trying to buy a firearm.
Michael A. Gonzalez, pleaded guilty on Jan. 8 to attempting to buy a gun despite being banned from gun ownership because of a pending felony charge of aggravated assault in a domestic violence incident. On a purchase form, he said he had no felonies in motion, records show.
Under a plea deal Gonzalez was told if he stayed out of trouble and remained in Vermont until his sentencing in May, his penalty would be equal to the 10 months he spent in prison while awaiting to resolve his gun case. He was released on conditions.
