A US District Court on Wednesday sentenced a Boulder man who possessed a firearm while being prohibited from doing so due to previous felony convictions to 78 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release.
Paul Anthony LaFournaise, 59, was found guilty of prohibited person in possession of a firearm in December 2024, stemming from a May 2024 incident.
Chief U.S. District Judge Brian Morris presided over the sentencing in a Great Falls court, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme’s office. The government presented evidence that LaFournaise had multiple previous felony convictions and is thus prohibited from using, owning, possessing, transferring, or controlling firearms.
