Man sentenced on firearms charge

A Muskogee man has been sentenced to 77 months in federal prison as a felon in possession of a firearm.

After he serves the prison term, Russell Eric Spillers will be on 36 months of supervised release, said U.S. Attorney Sheldon Sperling. Spillers also was ordered to pay a special assessment of $100.

Spillers is to report to the U.S. Marshal’s Service by noon Oct. 17 to begin serving the sentence.

Spillers was charged after he was found to be in possession of four firearms on Oct. 11, 2007, Sperling said in a media release. Those guns were: a Remington model 1100, 12-gauge shotgun; a Remington model 740, .30-06 caliber rifle; a Savage Arms Springfield model 120A, .22-caliber rifle; and a Savage Arms Stevens model 58B, .410-gauge shotgun.
