An Escambia County felon is headed back to prison for possessing a weapon.
Ronnie Clausell was convicted by an Escambia County jury of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Following the verdict, Circuit Judge Jennie Kinsey sentenced Clausell to 10 years in state prison.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office received a tip of illegal activity at Clausell’s residence. When the officers arrived, they spoke with Clausell who ultimately consented to a search of his home. The search revealed a .22 caliber rifle and live ammunition. Clausell admitted ownership of the ammunition, according to prosecutors.
