(GREAT FALLS) George Goodrie was sentenced on Monday to 38 months (three years and two months) in prison for possessing a gun as a convicted felon.
He also received two years of supervised release and a $100 special assessment.
In January of 2016, Great Falls police searched for Goodrie in relation to an earlier reported incident regarding a robbery in Great Falls.
Law enforcement officers found a truck Goodrie stole in a casino parking lot. Officers arrested Goodrie inside the casino.
While searching the stolen truck, officers saw a handgun on the seat underneath the center console. The firearm appeared to be the same firearm previously identified as being associated with Goodrie.
Goodrie has an extensive criminal history that includes more than 20 felony convictions for thefts, violent conduct, assaulting a peace officer, and drugs, which precludes him from possessing firearms.
