Acting United States Attorney Frank V. Russo announced today that Michael McLoon, a resident of Ketchikan, Alaska, was sentenced in federal court in Anchorage to 46 months in prison for his conviction of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

United States District Court Judge Ralph R. Beistline imposed the sentence on McLoon, age 41.

According to information presented to the court by Assistant United States Attorney Craig M. Warner, McLoon was found to be in possession of several firearms when officers from the Ketchikan Police Department responded to a disturbance at his residence on November 8, 2008. Due to several prior felony convictions, McLoon is prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition.

McLoon is currently serving a state prison sentence for an assault committed with one of the illegal firearms. Following the completion of this state sentence, McLoon will be transfered to the federal Bureau of Prisons.

Russo commended the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Ketchikan Police Department for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of McLoon.
