An Albany man accused of shooting at police officers has been sentenced to prison for a separate gun possession case. Michael Broadie, 40, received a 10-year state prison sentence on Monday (February 9) for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, followed by five years of post-release supervision.
Broadie pleaded guilty to the weapon charge in December 2025, stemming from a September 2024 incident. According to the Albany County District Attorney's Office, a witness reported seeing Broadie armed with a handgun in a Madison Avenue apartment before he left carrying a shopping bag, clothing items, and a backpack.
Police later searched a relative's apartment where Broadie had gone and discovered three firearms with his DNA on all of them. Among the weapons was a Beretta 9mm pistol loaded with eight live rounds hidden under a pile of clothes. Officers also found two grams of cocaine during the search.
This sentence is expected to run consecutively to any time Broadie may receive in a more serious pending case. He still faces trial in Rensselaer County for allegedly firing at Troy police officers in December 2024. For that incident, he has been charged with first-degree attempted murder of a police officer, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Broadie is currently being held in the Rensselaer County Jail while awaiting trial for the Troy police shooting case.
