BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A convicted felon found to have seven weapons and 15 different brands of ammunition in his possession has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison.
Steven Scranage pleaded guilty in November to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was prohibited from having weapons because of felony convictions in Montana for assault in 2000 and criminal possession of dangerous drugs in 2005.
Scranage was arrested last May at his North Dakota residence across the border from Fairview, Mont. In addition to the weapons and ammunition, officers found a bulletproof vest in a hole under the residence and about six ounces of marijuana.
U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland sentenced the 47-year-old Scranage to three years and 10 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release.
