A St. Louis County man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for illegally possessing a firearm.
TODD SCOTT, 38, St. Louis, Missouri, was found by St. Louis police officers in possession of a .38 special revolver on November 12, 2013.
As a convicted felon, including two prior federal convictions for possession with the intent to distribute heroin and a weapons charge, SCOTT was prohibited from possessing a firearm.
SCOTT pled guilty to possessing a firearm as a convicted felon in February. He appeared today for sentencing before Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh, Jr.
The case was investigated by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Assistant United States Attorney Tom Albus handled the case for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
SCOTT’s past convictions include two federal convictions for possession with the intent to distribute heroin and a weapons charge, which made him ineligible to possess a firearm.
