RALEIGH, NC (WECT) - A man from Bladenboro will spend nearly three months in prison after being sentenced for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Jeffrey Winston Lewis, 49 years old, will also face three years of supervised release once his term is complete.  He was sentenced in a Raleigh courtroom this week.

Lewis pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm in October last year.  Lewis was on probation last July, when police searched his home and recovered a stolen gun.
