A Bullitt County man was sentenced to two years and nine months in federal prison this week on a felony weapon charge.
Following his jail time, James Nott will serve three years of supervised release. Nott was convicted for Illegally Possessing a Firearm after Having Been Convicted of a Felony Offense.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Kentucky says Nott was found to be in possession of an AK-type rifle, a .38 special revolver, and ammunition when he was arrested in July of 2023 following an investigation by the FBI and the Mount Washington Police Department. Nott was prohibited from possessing firearms following a conviction in November of 2011 for Possession of an Unregistered Destructive Device and Possession of a Firearm by an Unlawful User of Marijuana.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says there is no parole in the federal system.
