NORMAN MEDLEY of Senath, Missouri, was sentenced to 188 months on one felony count of being a previously convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He appeared before United States District Judge Henry E. Autrey.

On December 8, 2005, two individuals burglarized a house in Dunklin County, Missouri, and stole eight firearms, including a Savage .270 caliber rifle.

Mr. Medley was later interviewed and admitted that he was in possession of the firearm. Due to Medley's prior convictions, he is prohibited from possessing firearms.
