Edwin Maldonado was once one of America’s most wanted top 10 criminals.
After being captured and convicted, he spent 15 years in prison for buying and selling guns across state lines.
“Seeing myself on ‘America’s Most Wanted’ was like the whole world collapsing on me,” he said. “This started from hanging out with the wrong people.”
