Scott Michael Todd, 39, pleaded guilty in September to prohibited person in possession of a firearm.

In court document filed in the case, the prosecution said that in December 2018, Montana Probation and Parole officers conducted a check and search of Todd’s residence.

The officers found two firearms, a Winchester Model 94 rifle with loaded with four rounds and a Heritage .22-caliber long rifle revolver.

Todd was convicted in 2014 of felony robbery in Montana and was prohibited from possessing firearms.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Cyndee Peterson prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Missoula Police Department and Montana Probation and Parole.
