A Monticello man was sentenced in Federal Court this week to one year and one day in prison and two years of supervised release after he pleaded guilty to Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Kenneth Myers, 21, was arrested after he took a pistol and shotgun from his father’s firearm collection and sold them to federally licensed firearms dealers.

Myers has a prior felony conviction of Theft, prompting police to arrest him on charges of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. This case was the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and was prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Dean Lanter.
