Felon ordered to prison for weapon possession

A Lawrence man has been sentenced to more than two years in federal prison for illegally having a gun.

A judge on Monday sentenced Travis S. Loeser, 21, to 27 months in prison without parole, followed by two years of supervision after his release.

Loeser admitted in a Nov. 21, 2003, plea that he possessed a rifle in Lawrence. He was disqualified from owning a gun by a 2002 conviction for aggravated battery, according to U.S. Atty. Eric Melgren.

The Lawrence Police Department and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case.
