A Thompson Falls man with two prior federal felony convictions and other state felonies was sentenced Jan. 3 to five years and 10 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for admitting to firearms crimes after law enforcement found numerous guns at his residence, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said.

The defendant, James Vernon Day, Jr., 56, pleaded guilty in September 2024 to prohibited person in possession of a firearm and to possession of an unregistered firearm.

U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy presided. The court also imposed a $20,000 fine.
