A 22 year old man from Pierre convicted of Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person has been sentenced in US District Court.
Nathen Doherty, a/k/a Nathan Doherty was given time served which equals 38 days, 18 months of supervised release and forfeiture of a firearm.

The shotgun was found in Doherty’s bedroom along with marijuana, marijuana wax, multiple baggies and a digital scale. Doherty also tested positive for marijuana.
