TOPEKA, Kan. — A Hutchinson man with a felony conviction record was sentenced Tuesday to seven years in federal prison for a firearm violation.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced that 32-year-old Lucas Hall pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. In his plea, he admitted that he was arrested with three handguns in his possession.

In 2011, Hall was convicted in Reno County District Court of attempted kidnapping, aggravated intimidation of a witness and aggravated battery. In 2014, he was convicted in Reno County District Court of aggravated assault.

This case was prosecuted as part of the Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhood, which targets armed offenders with a record of felony convictions.
