Mohamed has been in custody since he was charged in March 2016 and officials say he’ll be sentenced at a later date.
Mohamed was originally charged with carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace.
His lawyer, Anser Farooq, said at the time that the weapon was a knife that police alleged was illegal.
