Chauncey Wright went looking for a job and got federally indicted
instead. That's the way he put it Friday after being sentenced to six
months of house arrest and four years' probation for his involvement in
an undercover sting being run by the ATF.
ATF agents hired Wright — who has brain damage, an IQ of 54 and functions at the level of a kindergartner — to work last year for their fake storefront in Riverwest. They met him outside of a Walmart and offered him a job promoting Fearless Distributing, spreading the word that the store was looking for people willing to sell guns and drugs.
Wright, 28, rode his bike all over the city, from the lakefront to Midtown and down to the south side passing out fliers marketing Fearless and helping set up deals.
