CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire man has been sentenced to five years in prison for being a felon in possession of firearms.
Court documents say 23-year-old Hector Velez, of Manchester, was driving and stopped by police, who saw what appeared to be drugs. The officers impounded the car and got a search warrant that resulted in the seizure of two firearms, marijuana, and cocaine.
Velez, a previously convicted felon, was prohibited from having the firearms.
