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.
